By nature, the fediverse is hard to tie back to individuals… But if they’re looking for you individually, they can find you

Yeah. Bonus points if your instance isn’t hosted in the US. I’m pretty sure mine is hosted in Canada, and with the way it’s going currently in a year or two Canada wouldn’t be willing to piss on the US government if it was on fire much less hand over a server full of IP addresses.

  But again, hacking is a tool when they want to go after something in particular - a single lemmy server is minuscule. Even the full scale of everyone on lemmy is a very small target… They might go after it if they have specific reason to, but they’re unlikely to do so when there’s plenty of work to be done on bigger platforms
