When I sign up under an instance, what information am I sharing to the host? - eviltoast

Privacy drove me off reddit, I looked around for these answers but not sure where to come across them.

Am I sharing my IP address/ location with my host instance?
is there a log of my view history
are there general privacy concerns that I am not thinking of?

I do not want to be in a position where a Government creates an instance, and allows them to monitor.

    host your own instance and use that for your account.

    if you can’t host, you’ll have to trust somebodies instance like you do with reddit etc
