Aww man, no auto-play of gifs? OK…

I spent the last few hours trying to get mail working on my instance. Eventually I set up postfix on my linux host and had the lemmy docker container use that. Happy to say it is working.

Does the gmail SMTP server have a limit on how many emails can be sent per day?

Well, my understanding is your user exists on whatever instance you signed up on. You could technically create users on every single instance, but that is not necessary. You only need one user to exist somewhere, and then you can subscribe to, and post to communities on other instances.

For example: from lemmy.ml, if you search for !gaming@beehaw.org you can then open the sidebar and subscribe to, and post to, the gaming community on beehaw.org with your lemmy.ml user.

!gaming@beehaw.org is not the same community as !gaming@lemmy.ml

First post for me!

Sorry, I applied and got approved here. Still waiting to hear back from beehaw…

I’m really digging this UI compared to Reddit, but I am 99.9% a mobile user via the native Reddit app (don’t @ me!)

I am very tempted to setup my own instance. Wondering what resource usage looks like for an instance.
