Can other lemmy users see my email address I registered with?

Can other lemmy clients or the server admins see the email address associated with my account?

I assume it’s removed from your user record in the Postgres database. Presumably there are database backups that will retain it.

Can I open what? I can only get my own email address through the API: https://lemmy.readme.io/reference/get_site

curl -s -w "\n" -H "authorization: Bearer ${JWT}" https://lemmy.ml/api/v3/site \
