Add warning to the fetch_initial_posts setting. Now we sometimes have people who enable this without realising the consequences (tons of posts being fetcht as each fetch makes Pleroma discover new users)

I also made a more explicit distinction between OTP and from source installs in the general explanation

This is a cheat sheet for Pleroma configuration file, any setting possible to configure should be listed here.
Pleroma configuration works by first importing the base config (`config/config.exs` on source installs, compiled-in on OTP releases), then overriding it by the environment config (`config/$MIX_ENV.exs` on source installs, N/A to OTP releases) and then overriding it by user config (`config/$MIX_ENV.secret.exs` on source installs, typically `/etc/pleroma/config.exs` on OTP releases).
For OTP installations the configuration is typically stored in `/etc/pleroma/config.exs`.
You shouldn't edit the base config directly to avoid breakages and merge conflicts, but it can be used as a reference if you don't understand how an option is supposed to be formatted, the latest version of it can be viewed [here](https://git.pleroma.social/pleroma/pleroma/blob/develop/config/config.exs).
For from source installations Pleroma configuration works by first importing the base config `config/config.exs`, then overriding it by the environment config `config/$MIX_ENV.exs` and then overriding it by user config `config/$MIX_ENV.secret.exs`. In from source installations you should always make the changes to the user config and NEVER to the base config to avoid breakages and merge conflicts. So for production you change/add configuration to `config/prod.secret.exs`.
To add configuration to your config file, you can copy it from the base config. The latest version of it can be viewed [here](https://git.pleroma.social/pleroma/pleroma/blob/develop/config/config.exs). You can also use this file if you don't know how an option is supposed to be formatted.

!!! warning
Be careful with this setting, fetching posts may lead to new users being discovered whose posts will then also be fetched. This can lead to serious load on your instance and database.
