The website that you visit (as in your Lemmy instance) does log your IP address to fight abuse etc. Afaik it’s not sent to other instances, so unless the server admin sells it somewhere (which they shouldn’t but I guess you never know - that’s why some folks host their own instance), it shouldn’t leave the server.
Obviously that doesn’t mean your IP is not logged by external services embedded in the Lemmy UI you’re using - be that ads, video players, etc
Every server on the internet for every site you visit does this.
I guess what I’m asking is more about whether your info is sold the same way Reddit does, or is it simply retained for reporting abusive conduct
