Own lemmy (self.selfhosted)

Hey guys, thanks to some of you I was able to set up my lemmy instance. Its working flawlessly. But here comes my new question:

From a security perspective, is it less secure and less anonymous this way, right? I mean with an account on any other instance you would be kinda insivisble if you use a VPN and a alias email without any trace back to yourself. But with an own instance anybody can check where is your server located, therefore you would be less anonym. Right?

Thank you, now I'm getting to know cloudflare.At the moment there is some problem with a redirecting loop, but as I read itcould be a problem with my nginx config and https. Either way thank you
