we’ve exceeded the usage tier for our email sending API today (and they kindly didn’t email me to tell me that was the case until we were 300% over), so email notifications might be a bit spotty/non-working for a little bit. I’m working on figuring out what we should migrate to — I’m leaning towards AWS SES as by far the cheapest option, though I’m no Amazon fan and I’m open to other options as long as they’ve got an option to send with SMTP

      so do you want to hear something terrible? if you give Lemmy SMTP credentials for notifications but it can’t auth against the server for any reason, it’ll just hang the entire lemmy backend forever

      which makes switching email providers a bit nerve-wracking, you understand
