    Admins can see the IP address+request path, but is there anything in the logs that can relate an ipaddress to a username?

      That wasn’t really what I was paying attention to the last time I looked at the logs but going off memory no, you can’t.

      The Lemmy logs are very privacy friendly which is good most of the times but a tragedy when someone posts illegal stuff to your instance and you have no way of tracking them down.

      Theoretically you could infer that information by counting the number of times an IP looks at a profile page. If you assume the maximum count of a profile to be the IP users own profile. It wouldn’t be fact but for a lot of cases that doesn’t matter.
