I added info about installing front ends from the development branch
I also rearanged the list of exceptions (what's different than "normal" installation)
so the order is closer to how you'd encounter things in the installation docs + small fixes
Credit where credit is due; I inspired myself by looking at the yunohost docs

I try to be inviting to new developers and guide them in their first steps into Akkoma development.
I try to keep the page itself as short as possible and link to relevant places.
That way people can quickly skim over parts that they don't need, while people who do need more can simply follow the links.
I experienced that it may be better to tell pgtune you have lower resoures than what you have when you have other services running.
I added that now.
I also moved the examples as part of the pgtune section.
This adds an option to the prune_objects mix task.
The original way deleted all non-local public posts older than a certain time frame.
Here we add a different query which you can call using the option --keep-threads.
We query from the activities table all context id's where
1. the newest activity with this context is still old
2. none of the activities with this context is is local
3. none of the activities with this context is bookmarked
and delete all objects with these contexts.
The idea is that posts with local activities (posts, replies, likes, repeats...) may be interesting to keep.
Besides that, a post lives in a certain context (the thread), so we keep the whole thread as well.
Caveats:
* ~~Quotes have a different context. Therefore, when someone quotes a post, it's possible the quoted post will still be deleted.~~ fixed in #379
* Although undocumented (in docs/docs/administration/CLI_tasks/database.md/#prune-old-remote-posts-from-the-database), the 'normal' delete action still kept old remote non-public posts. I added an option to keep this behaviour, but this also means that you now have to explicitly provide that option. **This could be considered a breaking change!**
* ~~Note that this removes from the objects table, but not from the activities.~~ See #427 for that.

**TODO**
1. [x] **Question:** Is it OK to keep it like this in regard to quote posts? If not (ie post quoted by local users should also be kept), should we give quotes the same context as the post they are quoting? (If we don't want to give them the same context, I'll have to see how/if I can do it without being too costly)
* See #379
2. [x] **Question:** the "original" query only deletes public posts (this is undocumented, but you can check the code). This new one doesn't care for scope. From the docs I get that the idea is that posts can be refetched when needed. But I have from a trusted source that Pleroma can't refetch non-public posts. I assume that's the reason why they are kept here. I see different options to deal with this
1. ~~We keep it as currently implemented and just don't care about scope with this option~~
2. ~~We add logic to not delete non-public posts either (I'll have to see how costly that becomes)~~
3. We add an extra --keep-non-public parameter. This is technically speaking breakage (you didn't have to provide a param before for this, now you do), but I'm inclined to not care much because it wasn't documented nor tested in the first place.
3. [x] See if we can do the query using Elixir
4. [x] Test on a bigger DB to see that we don't run into a timeout
5. [x] Add docs

I managed to steal some emoji, but I had to figure out the specifics the hard way. This should make it easier for future criminals.
Feel free to close if this documentation was omitted on purpose, I can imagine some reasons for why it might have.

Argos Translate is a Python module for translation and can be used as a command line tool.
This is also the engine for LibreTranslate, for which we already have a module.
Here we can use the engine directly from our server without doing requests to a third party or having to install our own LibreTranslate webservice (obviously you do have to install Argos Translate).
One thing that's currently still missing from Argos Translate is auto-detection of languages (see <https://github.com/argosopentech/argos-translate/issues/9>). For now, when no source language is provided, we just return the text unchanged, supposedly translated from the target language. That way you get a near immediate response in pleroma-fe when clicking Translate, after which you can select the source language from a dropdown.
Argos Translate also doesn't seem to handle html very well. Therefore we give admins the option to strip the html before translating. I made this an option because I'm unsure if/how this will change in the future.

This makes them consistent with the update instructions that are in the
release announcements.
Also adds in the command to update the frontend as well.

Mostly add how to speed up restoration by adding activities_visibility_index later. Also some small other improvements.
This is based on what I did on a Pleroma instance. I assume the activities_visibility_index taking so long is still true for Akkoma, but can't really test because I don't have a big enough Akkoma DB yet 🙃

Only real change here is making MRF rejects log as debug instead of info (#234)
I don't know if it's the best way to do it, but it seems it's just MRF using this and almost always this is intended.
The rest are just minor docs changes and syncing the restricted nicknames stuff.
I compiled and ran my changes with Docker and they all work.
