I run a pretty locked down Firefox browser and I noticed when browsing lemmy.world that the browser wants to pull stuff from a long list of other instances, which fails because they aren’t trusted. Is this normal? I thought an instance would collect the things you are subscribed to and store them locally so that you didn’t have to go talk to 20 different servers. Not true?

    Sure, it’s not hard to not comply with GDPR. I was speaking from the perspective of a small instance admin who would like to generally comply without having to think about.

      Will gdpr even apply to individuals running instances? I think it’s just for corporations.
