Reddit tracks outbound link clicks, lemmy.world does not.

We actually don't know that. Lemmy does not come packaged with tracking software, but instance owners can add their own. The admins there have actually unsuccesfully tried to dox someone (leaking an email address they thought was that person's) and track deleted messages on their discord server. We can't say at this time whether they track users or not.

Lemmygrad btw does not run any tracking software, it's the legit lemmy software with no modifications.

Using the largest lemmy instances is still far and away better than using reddit.

You're still interacting with Redditors tho.
