Looking at my Pi-hole logs I see that when loading Lemmy.ml site, Pi-hole asks DNS for r3.o.lencr.org which is hosted by Akamai, which have their HQ in USA. Does this mean that even if Lemmy is hosted in EU, my visit to Lemmy can be tracked in the USA ?

I had a closer look with Termshark on two computers now. It shows a handshake for SSL, and probably asks a Let’s Encrypt OCSP server about the validity of the used SSL certificate. This blog post was useful to read https://www.catchpoint.com/blog/wireshark-tls-handshake so I understand a bit better why this happens, and well as this : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Online_Certificate_Status_Protocol#Privacy_concerns
