Anyone know if Lemmy logs IP? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

For instance say I post a guide on how to do something related to piracy...should I be concerned that my IP is being logged? I understand if it is logged it is most likely saved on the instance server I'm posting on. What I'm asking is if I should be constantly using a VPN while browsing or posting on instances?

I'm also curious, most likely some IP info is being logged at least for diagnostics/firewall but otherwise not too sure.

FYI this particular Lemmy instance is Tor Browser friendly so if you're concerned you could always browse with that. Interestingly there are a bunch of Lemmy instances that definitely aren't Tor friendly.

Or use a VPN.
