I've just come from the reddit exodus and I'm looking around for some documentation or info on the privacy & security on infosec.pub and/or lemmy as a platform - how our logins are stored and whether data is accessible by developers / other parties.

Does anyone know where I can find more information on this? (Or if not could you shed some light)

This platform seems incredibly promising and I'm sick of reddit's ways now, but i want to read up before I fully commit. Many thanks!

(Edit - sorry if this isn't an appropriate place for this by the way, just seemed a sensible community to put it in!)

This is a part of @[email protected]'s InfoSec World. You can see more about the admin, services, and rules at: https://infosec.exchange/about

This lemmy instance is still being built so all of the nice about pages and are still being worked on.

as far as i know, there's not a lot of official Lemmy documentation, but chances are your instance admin will be able to help you out with that. maybe search for a "meta" community in your instance

Best way to describe it is that it’s like email for message boards. You can use different servers, or even run your own, but they all can talk to each other.

You can use something like this to find communities overall

https://browse.feddit.de/

Let’s say you want to connect to the largest community there, but it’s on beehaw. You can then search it or you can go straight to it

https://infosec.pub/c/[email protected]

If you want to search for communities you can do that in search as well. But again it’s buggy.

So cool. This post helped me figure out how to get in touch with other communities in other instances. I thought I’d have to create accounts for each instance. So thank you :)

Use Signal, use Tor, as they say.
