What constitutes Usage Data. Is it sharing the posts I view, communities I subscribe to etc?
Does paying for a premium version stop this data being collected?

Only Europeans can do it because Europe passed laws for this.
Sync didn’t prompt me at all and I’m from the eu.
Aren’t you blocking the ads by any chance?
Yeah it was because of my pihole. When using 4g I got the popup.
How does the app know you’re from Europe? GPS? Geolocation tagging? Can someone hypothetically pretend to be from Europe too?
Usually IP address. For other things it would have to have your permission (and if you give a Lemmy app permission for your location, well it’s on you). You could probably use an EU VPN. Though I’m not sure of their implementation, they might disregard your choices if you disconnect from VPN.
