What is your email used for when signing up to Lemmy? Is it just for password reset?

Password reset and notifications.

We use it as an (imperfect) speed bump for spammers. Also for password resets. That's about it.

I assume it can be seen by admins?

I trust my admins, but I still used a forwarding service because there's always a risk of an attack exposing data. Unless there's some other security there I don't know about
