      This was asked in the lemm.ee discord and the answer given is below.

      Ping times are low everywhere because the files we serve are hosted on globally distributed servers. So if you’re in North America, you will download the frontend code (and images etc) from a North American server. But the backend is actually hosted in Germany

        Do you know if personal data (like emails, IP addresses) is also distributed across the world? I mean, this is important from the privacy perspective. Different countries have different rules.

          It’s just using cloudflare. So likely your private data is just temporarily stored on the CloudFlare node in your region and in Germany.

          Frankly I have absolutely no idea, I would encourage asking if you’re concerned though.
