    I don’t understand, what data from other instances is cached, exactly?

    And usenet has existed since before the Internet itself, has been used for piracy almost as long, and yet I don’t see many concerns there.

      If Alice, a user of lemmy server A, subscribes to a piracy community on server B, all content of that piracy community will be pulled to, cached on, and served to Alice through their home instance, server A.
