An IP address alone does not identify you. It might identify your general area.

Any other website works the same way. I can go buy a domain, set up a plain html site, and view the IP of anyone who visits the site.

What kind of features are you looking for?

Whoever you'd recommend is already exposed to the lemmy.ml people or worse, it's just through Facebook or Instagram or Reddit. At least here they're a little self-contained.
