As we are concerned about privacy, I am curious just to understand if lemmy can be at some point exploited by someone to profile its users.

It's still a fingerprint, the most vague information correlated with other data points can make a useful fingerprint. This is how a lot of the companies can track you even if you aren't logged in, you using any service creates a pattern that with enough aggregate data can be used to approximate who you are.
