Lemming: any of various short-tailed furry-footed rodents of circumpolar distribution

There's so little demand for privacy in the U.S, that politicians have no reason to work toward it. It'll stay that way until enough people refuse to engage with surveillance based services. I don't honestly see that happening. Even people I know who claim to care about privacy routinely violate their own privacy and that of other people for mere convenience.
Check the time on your server. If it's off by much, nothing will accept your posts.
If you can, I'd go with having your own instance at your own domain.
I'm glad you got it working :)
I don't know. I'm sorry :(
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.
Taking a closer look at it, I think the user online, and subscriber count are tied to your instance. At least for me, both those values are 1.
The rest are probably tied to the community, or specific posts in the case of votes.
I think they are the real numbers. I'm the only user on my instance and the numbers are much higher than my own activities.
That's basically what I'm doing. A singleton instance for Pict-rs and Postgres. Multiple compute nodes for Lemmy and Lemmy-ui being accessed over load balancers. All of data is placed on distributed storage so I can quickly fail-over Pict-rs or Postgres if needed. It's enough for now, though I don't think it could handle Reddit levels of traffic.
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.
