    I guess you didn’t get satisfactory answers from your first post, but you still haven’t clarified what you actually mean by your question. All Lemmy servers run Lemmy, so in some senses of the term, they’re all roughly equally private, which is to say not very, because all posts & comments are publicly scrapable, except for private messages.

        This just boils down to basic opsec. Be careful what you post/comment, continue to use a generic username, stuff like that.

        1. Don’t give your email address, or use a throwaway one when you join.
        2. Pick a username that’s unrelated to any others you’ve used.
        3. Use a VPN.
        4. Don’t reveal personal details in posts & comments.

        Supporting this, Lemmy encourages people not to use DMs and wants people to add Matrix user details to their profile instead.
