 This allows you to include arbitrary HTML content in a panel below navigation menu. PleromaFE looks for an html page `instance/panel.html`, by default it's not provided in FE, but BE bundles some [default one](https://git.pleroma.social/pleroma/pleroma/blob/develop/priv/static/instance/panel.html).

+## Indirect configuration
+Some features are configured depending on how backend is configured. In general the approach is "if backend allows it there's no need to hide it, if backend doesn't allow it there's no need to show it**.

+### Chat
+**TODO somewhat broken, see: chatDisabled** chat can be disabled by disabling it in backend

+### Rich text formatting in post formatting
+Rich text formatting options are displayed depending on how many formatting options are enabled on backend, if you don't want your users to use rich text at all you can only allow "text/plain" one, frontend then will only display post text format as a label instead of dropdown (just so that users know for example if you only allow Markdown, only BBCode or only Plain text)

+This is a panel intended for users to find people to follow based on randomness or on post contents. Being potentially privacy unfriendly feature it needs to be enabled and configured in backend to be enabled.

+### "Safe" DMs
+There's obscure option to enable quote-unquote "safe" DMs, which makes DMs "only be visible to the mentioned users at the beginning of the message." which only changes DM warning in FE. What it does precisely is unclear and should probably be avoided since it bring in more confusion and doesn't affect other servers.
