I keep burning myself out with projects that sound great on paper, but take weeks to complete. Hosting my own Lemmy instance was one of those things. Was it fun? Kinda. Would I do it again? Hell no
Ah yeah, SMTP is usually a bitch. I only had an instance for myself back when I used lemmy and never bothered with actually setting up the email part lmao.
I mean, kinda? I am on a piefed instance, which kinda means I don’t actively use lemmy, but I am communicating with lemmy instances, so … idk? If I had to choose, I’d say no.
