Lemmy and GDPR - What is the current state? (lemmy.world)

As the Fediverse grows more and more, rules and regulations become more important. For example, is Lemmy GDPR compliant? If not, are admins aware of the possible consequence? What does this mean for the growth of Lemmy?

Edit: The question "is Lemmy GDPR compliant" should mean, does the software stack provide admins with means to be GDPR compliant.

I guess as I've been using Lemmy more, I see that this is actually a fairly large issue. When I post to, say, a Videos community, I crosspost the link to every other Videos community I can find on the lemmyverse. But that's clunky, and if anyone is subscribed to all of those communities for redundancy, it shows up in their feed multiple times, which is likely a little annoying.

It does seem like the community recognizes this is a problem, and there are open issues for it on the github page. I have to assume that at some point the devs will address this issue, it seems odd that they would purposefully choose to ignore it.
