A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.

Rules:

  1. Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.

  2. No spam posting.

  3. Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.

  4. Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.

  5. Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

  6. No trolling.

Is e-mail working properly for you?

[–] CrimeDad@lemmy.crimedad.work 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yes. I have a residential connection with a dynamic IP, so the trick for me was to use an SMTP relay with a trustworthy provider. That said, I don't really use it.

i did the same thing using fastmail but the emails either come not at all or super delayed, would you mind sharing your provider?

[–] CrimeDad@lemmy.crimedad.work 1 points 1 year ago

It's not open to the public unfortunately.

[–] midas@ymmel.nl 1 points 1 year ago

Weid, I've got no issue using fastmail for smtp

I'm trying to use the provided email service from my website provider OVH, I have the setup ok (webmail works) but I can't set up Lemmy to use it :-/
