It’s developers working on their time to build an app they want. You don’t have the right to demand they do things your way.

No idea. Sorry.

Sounds like something is incorrect in your setup. Nothing Lemmy does requires x11, dbus, or any display technology.

You are correct. Streams is Fediverse software that you install on a server.

I initially misunderstood your question, so deleted my post. Sorry about that.

It defaults to config.hjson. Check the defaults.hjson file for a full list of options including the pool_size variable.

It’s in the Lemmy configuration file.

Run your own instance. It’s the only way you’ll be able to set your own policies. Otherwise you’re subject to policies of the instance you’re on and those policies may change at any time.

It sets the maximum number of active sql connections Lemmy will use. Don’t set it higher than what your PostgreSQL server is able to handle.

The setting goes in your Lemmy configuration file. The same place as your database settings.

I don’t use docker, so I’m not sure what you need to do there. Sorry.

Sounds like you need to increase pool_size: 5 to a higher number in your Lemmy configuration.

I take the host my own instance path. It’s safer and more stable than relying on a third party.

Good question.

Add some memory and hard drives and slap TrueNas or Unraid on it.

That bad?

Last time I used Windows on my own was back in the XP days. I saw some of the early Vista and it was even worse. I can’t imagine what the recent versions are like.

Check the database pool_size variable in the Lemmy configuration.

Wallabag might work.

That’s lip service to privacy with spyware in reality.

These are all good questions.

The lose of signal won’t matter. It happens to me all the time as I move from wifi to wifi.

For your third question, it depends on if you a have a key backup with a key security code. That’s something you should set up asap after your initial client login. If you do, then you can recover. You might want to look at https://github.com/vector-im/element-web/issues/16202 for more explanation. The question comes up a lot.

Regardless, I’d make sure you’re always logged in twice if you can. Do you have Element Web running alongside Matrix? If you do, keep logged in on a desktop, or laptop. Just in case you lose the phone.

Here’s how I do it. Might be worth giving it a shot. This is on FreeBSD, but I doubt that matters.

git clone https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy.git lemmy
cd lemmy
git checkout 0.17.3
git submodule init
git submodule update --recursive --remote
echo "pub const VERSION: &str = \"$(git describe --tag)\";" > "crates/utils/src/version.rs"
cargo build --release
strip target/release/lemmy_server

Then copy target/release/lemmy_server to wherever you want to run it.
