I noticed certain communities in lemmy can rival (or even more active than) their reddit counterparts. Maybe not much contents yet, but their users are very active and answer questions quickly. I'm sure other communities will also grow overtime.

Sounds great! By the way, if you're using docker, be careful not to accidentally have a container open a port on all interface. Even if you have a firewall configured on the machine, sometimes docker can punch a hole without you knowing. Might be a good idea to run a port scan from an external computer from time to time just to makes sure no unwanted open ports.
You can re-enable it in about:config
You could unsubscribe from those meme communities and then use "all" view whenever you're in the mood for some memes, and your "subscribed" view won't be drown with memes.
Given how active those meme communities right now, chance that the "all" view in your instance are being dominated by memes anyway, so it's not like you'll have to subscribe to see them.
Unfortunately, I can't say for sure if your instance will reliably get the deletion requests and process them. I did a small test to see how deletion works a few days ago and it doesn't seem to propagate reliably as the deleted comment is still up in another instances, even now, though other instance such as lemmy.world seem to delete it. Not sure where it went wrong either, could either a bug, instances get overloaded and didn't receive activitypub message correctly, or OP's instance was improperly configured, but I sure hope it's just an isolated incident.
Like I said before, If this still worries you, you can just delete older image files in the pictrs directory every few months to make sure you don't host user-uploaded files for too long.
If you look at the chart, pretty much nothing comparable to the same period last year. January 2023 is a lot higher than January 2022 for example. July 2023 is also higher than July 2022.
Can they do complex mirror reflections like in the rejected photo though?
Some people say manually purging the activity table for entries older than a week or so should be safe enough.
The risk is pretty small IMO, especially if you (or your friends) are the only one that use your instance (with registration closed so no random users uploading stuff to your own instance). If you disable nsfw on your instance, the chance of storing illegal images should be pretty low, especially if the communities you subscribed are moderated as deletion from mods will eventually processed by your own instance. If this still worries you, just nuke pictrs directory every few months, perhaps automatically using a cron scripts that delete images/gifs older than a few months.
You're right. Perhaps they count on their users to not obstruct the secondary screen because the smart tv features are controlled from the secondary smart screen, so you won't be able to operate it if you obstruct the secondary screen.
Simply paste the video's full link into lemmy's search bar and wait a bit until the video appear.
For example, take the video linked in this post: https://tilvids.com/w/h8BKcxxixYFE8RekmR5Ux3
If you paste it into the search field in lemmy.world, you'll get this link: https://lemmy.world/post/1109318 . There, you can proceed to comment using your lemmy account. If you're not in lemmy.world, just do the same but using the search field in your instance.
I don't think you'll miss anything. If pihole works for you, then there is no need to switch to adguard.
One thing I found helpful is configuring my router (asuswrt-merlin) to transparently route all dns request to my adguard instance. You might already heard that some apps and IoT devices tried to be clever and hard-coded their dns server so they can evade dns blocking (I'm looking at you Netflix). If your router support redirecting all dns request to a custom dns server, definitely use it!
