Anyone know if Lemmy logs IP? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

For instance say I post a guide on how to do something related to piracy...should I be concerned that my IP is being logged? I understand if it is logged it is most likely saved on the instance server I'm posting on. What I'm asking is if I should be constantly using a VPN while browsing or posting on instances?

Also consider that since you never necessarily know what version of Lemmy an instance is running, any given instance can even be modified to collect more/fewer metrics than stock Lemmy. There's a lot of trust involved with which instance you decide to use.
