Most of the content is public by nature, things like posts, comments, modlog, etc. are kept basically forever. Your settings and stuff in your profile is also stored, obviously.
Anyway, I’d imagine you wanna know about the stuff other than content and its federation.
There would be mostly 2 things: server logs and the login tokens database table.
Lemmy logs are a bit verbose and our current config limits the size of the files rather than its age.
The legal page mentions 30 days, but with the current config it’s functionally much less than that. ie: Right now that file last wrapped less than a day ago.
If we were troubleshooting something specific, we might increase that slightly, but otherwise there is little point in keeping those, let alone a month.
The logins table contains your login tokens, which need to be kept until you log out or they expire (although TBH, I haven’t checked what the lemmy devs have set for default expiry of these).
They’re also purged if you delete your account or you get site banned, and, hopefully, when you reset your password (which I’ll be testing after this comment just to make sure lol).
The same table also holds the timestamp at which you logged in, your IP at the time of login (which might not be your current IP), and your browser’s user agent at the time of login.
These aren’t easily accessible and require database access, which currently means only either TheDude or me.
PS: We have so far not received any law enforcement request for user info, logs or whatnot.
Most of it should be covered in here:

Good, they haven’t caught me yet. :)
Just wanted to say thank you for everything you do. And TheDude of course.
