I was actually recently discussing self-hosting email on Matrix a while ago, so I’ll just copy-paste below. Long story short, find the right existing email software you want to use, set it up correctly with a healthy IP address and domain (not blacklisted), the right DNS entries, and a PTR record, and it’ll work just fine.

Honestly, I haven’t had any issues with self-hosting email, and I’ve been doing it for the past 2 years. I think the trick is that you just need to set everything up correctly and then verify your setup with mail-tester.com to ensure all the headers, DNS entries, etc. are correct. There are some great projects that make it extremely easy to self-host, including Mailu github.com/mailu/mailu, Mailcow github.com/mailcow/mailcow-dockerized, Docker mailserver (https://github.com/docker-mailserver/docker-mailserver), Stalwart github.com/stalwartlabs/stalwart, and I’m sure more. I’m currently using Mailu, but I have been eyeing Stalwart, which has recently gotten quite popular and implements modern email protocols and does everything in Rust.

If I were you and just wanted to take a stab at self-hosting email, I would start with Stalwart and see how you like it. The only caveat is that it doesn’t yet come with a webmail client, so if you wanted one, you’d have to separately add that to your setup.

Something you would need to think about though is your IP address. It must be static, and it should be in a healthy IP address range (not on any popular blacklists). You also need to be able to set up rDNS (reverse DNS) / PTR record, so you can point your IP address back to your email domain.

Well, sorry about that again. Really Lemmy should have never let it happen though.

Oh lol, is that still a problem?

Unfortunately, it’s not that easy on the fediverse. My instance, kbin.earth, still has the original image, and I’m guessing mine’s not the only one. Once something’s published to the fediverse, there’s no going back :)

Why is it that this got the most upvotes, compared to the more genuine comments in this thread? :)

Here’s Rust:

fn main() {
    println!("Please and Thank You");
}

Do programming languages count? :)

Here’s Go:

package main

import "fmt"

func main() {
    fmt.Println("Please and Thank You")
}

This was the answer! After switching categories, I am no longer required to conform to the new policy.

That’s actually a great idea. I just checked, and it looks like a lot of the browsers fall under the Communication category, which should be fine for a Lemmy app also.

Yes, the Lemmy icon is between the arrows.

Thanks for the testing! I’m the dev of Interstellar and looked through the list to try to see what I need to improve, but I believe everything you mentioned in the post already renders correctly. Would you be able to give the specific results you found (on what doesn’t work) from your testing?

For reference, I viewed the Lemmy Markdown Formatting Guide you linked, and everything seemed to be working fine on the app.

That’s correct. When we know of more apps, they’ll be added here: joinmbin.org/apps.

Looks amazing! Can’t wait to try it out.

It’s a link to an article I found interesting. It basically details why we’re still using 64-bit CPUs, just as you mentioned.

Have you tried sterling pdf? It has a ton of PDF tools and it’s Foss.

I literally just finished doing the same thing for my own foss app (and I also used Flutter). Right now I’m waiting for my production review. To get people added to your closed test, you have to either collect a list of email address, or create a google group they can join. If you use a google group, that will be a bit easier for testers to join since people can click the group link, and then the test link, instead of waiting for you to add their email.

If you can’t initially get all the testers you need, I would recommend making a post on the AndroidClosedTesting reddit; I found them really helpful to get the last few testers I needed.

Agreed

Also, someone should make a dedicated community to Linus Torvalds quotes.
