Mastodon and friends are built as open conduits with very little in the way of safety or permissions. Spam should be expected.
It’s not a Fediverse vulnerability. It’s a Mastodon vulnerability. Don’t want spam? Use a better fediverse technology.
No idea. Sorry.
Sounds like something is incorrect in your setup. Nothing Lemmy does requires x11, dbus, or any display technology.
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.
Yes. Synapse is the server side part of Matrix. You install it at a Matrix host, or on a VPS, or even a Raspberry PI device. See https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse#installing-and-configuration
Once up and running you connect a client like Element to it.
Host your own Synapse instance and lock it down to your users.
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.
Check the database pool_size variable in the Lemmy configuration.
Have you considered hosting your own instance instead? Seems like that would solve the issue.
Conversations, Cheogram, Dino are the ones I’ve used.
You make a valid point, but I have to disagree about the need to collect the data without consent. I think the key here is opt-in. The way cellular devices currently work there is no way to use one without the location tracking. That is not technically required. It’s a design choice on the part of the telecommunications companies. Let’s imagine a telecommunications infrastructure that does not and technically can not track identifying location information. With such an infrastructure, the potential for abuse is immediately gone. Then let people opt-in to location tracking services using apps or other features on their device on an individual basis. I’m not against giving people individual choices. It’s the forced location information gathering that needs to go.
The act of collecting the location data should be illegal. Selling it should never have been possible.
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.
