Not directly. You would have to check with your instance owner if they're reporting to your local government, as well as any instances you post to. Assume yes until confirmed otherwise.
This is a completely different question. Because Lemmy is a clearnet site, and frankly is more public by design than other social media sites, you probably shouldn't discuss anything that could get you in trouble with your government if spoken anywhere else without using TOR or similar anonymizing software.
Everything you post here is going to be public, so be mindful if you fear that anything you say could be held against you. No censorship (except the usual moderation done by community moderators) but imagine the police browsing through your Lemmy profile, reading all your posts/comments, after you have been charged with an allegation. In my case, police officers will surely have more than one heartfelt laughs...
