What is your email used for when signing up to Lemmy? Is it just for password reset?

I assume it can be seen by admins?

I trust my admins, but I still used a forwarding service because there's always a risk of an attack exposing data. Unless there's some other security there I don't know about

Yes us instance admin can pull the email address form local users.

Can you pull for foreign users? Curious what other federated instances can see

select person.id,name,local,local_user.email from person join local_user on person.id = local_user.person_id where person.id =2;

id | name | local | email
