Some points from the admin of ttrpg.network in our Discord chat:

the html injection seems not to apply to 18.1 (the version we're on) [us too!], but if it does, it applies to the sidebar, posts, and comments (so a huge deal)
apparently there's some concerns around the implementation (of 2fa) at the moment....maybe i'll just shut it off for now and wait then....

This thread explains the very serious risk of Lemmy's current 2FA implementation.

yes, the initial setup is not intuitive at all. Once setup it functions normally.

Thanks. I'm going to wait for your guide. What do you advise we do with bot accounts?

In the short term, use a 60 character password and never use that account interactively. ie only use it with your scripts/bot. And obviously keep the password securely stored.
