The Lemmy interface tells you if there are new unread comments on posts you viewed before. Does that mean Lemmy tracks all the posts you've ever viewed and when? Is that information public?

Lemmy 0.19 keeps track of read posts, and read comment counts for a given post (it does this by time post was accessed, in order to show an unread comment count). Viewing your read posts isn't possible.

Lemmy 1.0 will have the ability to view your read posts (no one else can view them obvi).

Interesting. Are there plans to introduce end-to-end encryption?

e2ee for what? I believe the only case of e2ee in the fediverse is mastodon private messages, but if you need e2ee communication I'd recommend matrix or simplex.

I was thinking for Lemmy. Friendica also has e2ee, as far as I know, and that is part of the fediverse.

Matrix is def a good one, hadn't heard of simpleX before! Thanks

Lemmy's a public platform so e2ee doesn't make sense for anything but private messages.
