[QUESTION] How do instances that use platforms such as Lemmy send verification, password reset, etc. e-mails? Do they use SMTP or some external service that provides an API? in c/opensource@lemmy.ml

Either a local SMTP server (less used) or an external service (more common). The SMTP is configurable but I believe most used option is ssl smtp over port 587.

I mean so is control d a set and forget. Even more so because they manage any changes and workarounds the companies come up with. Its basically designed for this. Having tried both options its my preferred option.

Set your country to Albania, Moldova, or Myanmar and you wont get ads on youtube.

Yes I do use opnsense and it was more annoying than control d. I tried both options.

One way I have reduced my subscriptions is by using control d. I know vpns are popular on lemmy but I found it an annoying to have to have a vpn for each device I wanted to bypass a country lock. Moreover it was annoyyng for some devices like apple tv that does not support a vpn. Establishing a vpn on the firewall broke other services that I needed to work locally in my country.

Control d on the other hand is a dns proxy tunnel so you just alter the dns on the devices you want to use it, and in their control panel you can have different countries per service - so if you browse youtube that can go via a country that does not allow ads. Bbc iplayer can be told to go via uk and so on. This is a lot more convenient and allows you to retain your country for all services except the ones you want to tunnel.

Youtube has started to artificially slow down video load times if you use Firefox. Spoofing Chrome magically makes this problem go away. in c/degoogle@lemmy.ml

If Thanos had, instead of randomly wiping out 50% of all living things, he had instead in each species wiped out only the dumbest 50% what would the reaction of each avenger have been? (lemmy.myserv.one)
 

Would they have all still fought against him?

Would appreciate if some people helped put some load on my instance (lemmy.myserv.one)
 

Hi I have an instance but still very underutilized. If anyone is feeling lawful-good please can you try using my instance for a while to increase the load?

Will eventually help lemmy.world as if more users used this instance then they would benefit from lower load on their server.

Appreciate in advance.

Is there a way to reorder accounts? (lemmy.myserv.one)
 

My main account I want to use is at the bottom so I always have to switch to it. Is it possible to move it to the top?

Find it hard to get people to join (lemmy.myserv.one)
 

I started a lemmy instance at https://lemmy.myserv.one but find it hard to get people to join. The instance is just a way to help reduce the load on other lemmy servers like lemmy.world so one would think it would be desirable to join as its quite fast and simply makes the experience better without detracting from anyones favorite instance they already feel loyal to. Would be interesting to hear how other people find members to join. From a user perspective I understand that looking for the most popular server and joining there makes sense since then you are doing what everyone else did, so from that point of view I understand why everything gets piled up on just a few servers.
