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

Can I change the email address associated with my account? I did not find it in the settings?

    so once I delete the email contained in that field, it will be deleted on the server as well I hope? I should look this up in the lemmy code i.g.

    I assume it’s removed from your user record in the Postgres database. Presumably there are database backups that will retain it. I haven’t worked on the Lemmy codebase nor do I sysadmin the server, so that’s all I can speculate from my past past experience designing & managing services of this kind.

    lemmy=# select p.name, i.domain, p.display_name, p.email from person p join instance i on p.instance_id = i.id where name='helloworld';
    ERROR: column p.email does not exist

    email only exists in the local_user table
