As an American, I hope my Lemm.ee data is not stored in the US and so could not be subpeonaed, taken down, etc… by this corrupt government.
Can one of the Admins please confirm or deny this?

It’s Estonian. However, it does federate with American instances. This means, that all your content that you post gets stored in American instances too.
Think of it like this: let’s say you had an American follower on Instagram that always saved all your posts. You might be able to completely delete your data from Instagram. What this one user does with your data is however, beyond your control.
the domain is estonian. do you have any source that the servers are based there too?
Here it states that the hoster used is hetzner https://lemm.ee/post/45660045. That being said Hetzner is a german company, so I would expect it to be in the eu.
Hmm, now that you said it, I’m not sure if the servers are in Estonia. The main admin though @sunaurus@lemm.ee is Estonian.
