On the contrary. The data exists, they're just not aggregating it into a graph. Otherwise your posts and comments would disappear the moment you submit them.

people here seem to be mixing "track" and "collect" here. Of course they collect data, otherwise the site wouldn't function. But they don't track you as in process your data.
Remind me not to switch to piefed since they apparently delete all posts comments, saves and votes immediately.
The real Lemmy Rewind is found by looking at your profile and seeing what you did all year. 😌
Bonus: Everyone else can see it, too!
It shouldn't be too hard for any instance admin to write a script to compile any user's 5 most liked, disliked, controversial posts, and 5 biggest upvoters/downvoters.
I wouldn't mind such a feature if it were on-demand, with the option to delete, and limit its visibility. I think it'd be a nice addition to Lemmy so long as it's user-focused.
Yeah, this is just plain wrong and lazy. Of course they collect that data, so at least they could make some cool analyses.
