The mods at lemmy.ml moderate the content that is hosted there. That includes copies of content that originate elsewhere, such as your instance. You're still responsible for moderating the content your instance sends out regardless of where it is sent to. For example, this post will show up at lemmy.ml. The mods could delete it, or ban me, but the post will still exist on my instance and be readable to the general public. At least that is how I understand it.

I think the admin_username, admin_password stuff in lemmy.hjson is only for the initial setup. It's not needed after that. I don't have those entries in my lemmy.hjson.
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.
Sure. Just create a server and subscribe to communities. Then disable public registration. Anybody can read the content on your instance. So far as I know, you can read the content on any public instance without an account.
Or am I not understanding your question?
I'm an administrator on my instance so maybe that is the difference? Otherwise I don't know.
Works for me. Maybe you need to logout and back in?
I run multiple nodes for my Lemmy instance and it seems to work fine. They all talk to a single instance of PostgreSQL though.

It's good to be popular!
Yep. I always use a sub domain for Fediverse applications. It's just easier to migrate when something better suited to your needs comes along.
For long form content, Hubzilla, Streams, or Friendica all allow long posts. For photos, Pixelfed seems to be the popular option. From a ActivityPub enabled blog standpoint, try WriteFreely.
I think Calckey can also do long form posts, and has a lot of other features.
p.s. If I export my content from Mastodon, shut down the instance, then bring up an instance of Calckey with the same domain/username, am I going to break things?
I think you'd need to use a different domain name. This might help, https://calckey.org/docs/en/account-migration/
Interesting. So if you delete this comment on lemmy.ml, it will delete off my instance too?
