If I directly downloaded it, and am using lemmy on a different device, is there still a way for them to link my comment to my online behavior?
Nobody is coming after you, don't worry about it. If they were really determined? Maybe, possibly, depending on many factors but you're a very small fish in a very big pond.
Yep, I've been screaming it from the rooftops for years and have gotten a few "stop downloading pirated content" letters from ISPs, and I'm still here.
Your ISP has bigger things to worry about than trace a user through a VPN service and stalk their fediverse comments for piracy confessions. :)
