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.

You're not alone, but even people who claim to want privacy are typically unwilling to stop using the very things that violate their privacy. I suspect that until that changes on a mass scale, the expectation that you should give up your data will remain.

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

There is no such thing as a private cellular device. It does not matter if it's a smartphone, dumb phone, or simple internet access device.

Cellular devices are location tracked and their owners profiled. All devices have proprietary cellular modems that communicate over the network and have full access to your system. Nothing you do on device will stop that.

The only exception I've heard of is from Purism. The Librem 5 claims to separate the base system from the cellular modem, but that still won't stop the location tracking.

Point blank, you can't carry a connected cellular device, and have privacy. They are mutually exclusive goals.

Prosody here in addition to Matrix. :)

Check the time on your server. If it's off by much, nothing will accept your posts.

Here's an example of how to build it from scratch. https://lemmy.grouchysysadmin.com/comment/7413

I'm glad you got it working :)

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.

Just set 'Only Admins can create Communities' in your instance. Then people can sign up, comment, and participate, but can't create communities.

You'd still need to moderate comments, and posts made from your instance though.
