If you’re literally unfamiliar with the technical process of this, I suggest you go back and read a guide, so every step very literally, and then come back if you have a problem.

It’s very obvious that’s you’re skipping steps or ignoring something.

As long as it has Internet access you can do whatever you want like any other normal machine.

For running a Lemmy server, or you mean the desktop app? I’m confused on what your goal is here.

Yeah, that’s not a straight Debian image, it’s a yunohost image.

Stock Debian images are here: https://www.debian.org/distrib/

Where’d you get the image? It sure seems like you installed a yunohost image of Debian. See here for the default credentials to try logging in: https://doc.yunohost.org/admin/command_line/

Need more info. Is this in a desktop, via SSH…etc?

Where’d you get the Debian image from?

Plug it into a machine, mount the drive, then copy the data off of it. You can get an external USB drive adapter for cheap if needed.

All data and benchmarks would disagree with you. If you find something showing that SMB isn’t slower than the others mentioned, I’d love to see it.

Yeah, one or the other works well depending on how your network is deployed. Example: Tailscale gets whacky when dNAT issues are present, but ZT blasts through.

Sounds like OP is having the opposite issue as you.
