Hey all I have no idea what I'm doing here trying to set up a Lemmy instance. I've made simple servers before but nothing like the setup needed for this especially surrounding email verification.

I'm like 10 tutorials deep and on day 3 of trying to figure out what is going on with Postfix. There are so many words and acronyms being thrown around I don't even know what I'm looking at anymore let alone knowing what the right questions to ask would be.

Very likely I'm going to nuke my droplet this weekend to make sure I have a fresh start with no half-baked solutions competing with each other. Would someone be willing to set up a time with me this weekend on Discord or something and baby step me through how to get this thing up and running?

Historically I make my own things because I like knowing how stuff works (or at least kinda knowing how it works). I'm a programmer but generally I'm on the like C++/C# game programming side of things and learning server stuff is very difficult for me. Always out to learn more though
