Lemmy: Too many requests. 1 per 3600 seconds

[chopin2712]

I wanted to create a community but a pop-up message appears with this message:
Too many requests. 1 per 3600 seconds

I never created other community before, and even though, this is hard! 1 HOUR?

I think it is an error, can you help me?

PS: This Reddit clone is amazing!

Thx! The default rate limits are here, but any self-hosted instance can change them.

The 1 hour is only for new accounts and community creation, because of some early spammers. I might lower it at some point, but don't want them wide open for obvious reasons.

Thanks! Yes I understand. But how can I change it? Can I do it using the docker-compose file?

PS: I am currently testing, and I was wondering where does post are saved?

@chopin2712 You can edit the .env file to change the rate limits. Posts and everything else are stored in the database.
