Why does hosting Lemmy require a display? (aussie.zone)

I'm trying to set up my own Lemmy server with Docker. I think I have everything set up, but I'm getting an error Cannot autolaunch D-Bus without X11 $DISPLAY. This error kind of makes sense, because I'm SSHing into my server and have not forwarded D-Bus connections, so $DISPLAY is undefined. But why does a Lemmy server need a display in the first place? Is this a bug and a display isn't actually needed? If I set $DISPLAY to whatever, will it still run okay?

Thanks. Do you know what I could have done wrong? I've looked through all the config files and there's nothing about a display in them, unless you count lemmy-ui
