We can expect them to follow the law. And yes this means implementing required features to comply with the law.

Nothing here is breaking any laws. I don't know why OP thinks the GDPR applies here, it doesn't.

It does apply, but not to the Lemmy devs, but to the instance admins.

As it stands, you can't legally host a Lemmy server in either the EU or the US (or places they can reach) and federate with the 'verse at large without fear that the authorities will come after you.

This is not true at all, you can host a instance in the USA for free and not be subjective to the GDPR. You're not selling anything, or marketing anything or doing any data collection to be sold. It %100 does not apply.
