Your instance admins know basically everything. They won’t know the password you use since the software shouldn’t be storing that in plaintext. But your activity is pretty clear to them. They can see how you upvote, what you subscribe to, and probably also the IP you connect from.

Let’s see where we can get to:

if the admins install from a reputable source

if they harden their server

if they diligently patch then the chances of getting hacked are slim(mer).

if they configure encryption in transit no one except they and you should be able to see what you’re doing from outside

if they only do minimal logging

if they do data retention properly

if they do proper disk encryption a switched-off machine’s data should not easily be cracked open. However, in on state these things are generally accessible; in-ram encryption is complex to run and not generally used.

So as always, it comes down to how much you trust the admins of that instance, for every instance you access.

  So if the instance go down will it be encrypted automatically or something
  
  What is “it”, and what do you mean by “go down”?
