Anything else to consider when hosting a Lemmy instance in the EU? (lemmy.one)

I'd be really keen to host a lemmy instance but just wondering with GDPR and everything, if there is anything else to consider outside of the technical setup and provisioning of hardware?

Lemmy is storing users data so is there any requirement to do anything GDPR wise?

Hope this is the right place for this - But seen a lot of posts interested in hosting their own lemmy instance, and this is an extension of that

However, this duplication mechanism renders content deletion or rectification more difficult. In case of deletion by the user, the platforms with duplicates receive usually an automated deletion request and must be trusted to comply and delete their duplicate.

Seems like sending the delete notice is all that's required?

Yes, but

and must be trusted to comply and delete their duplicate.

So because of that trust factor, if you really want to protect yourself and be 100% GDPR compliant, you'd probably want a legal contract with every instance to federate with ascertaining that they are GDPR compliant too to legally deflect blame if you're unable to comply with a data delete request.
