Better profiles, followers, better community customization, better embeds, I can keep going on. Yeah, Reddit has a ton of stupid features that nobody asked for but it also has a lot of things that are very good for everyone. Obviously we're still in the early days but they're already running into issues (they are just finishing ripping out all the websockets and chat server stuff, which was one of the big things slowing down instances)

I mean it's easier to develop new features when you're using a language like PHP. I love Rust but it's going to be laughable at how slow they will move new features out compared to other platforms unless they can get a ton of more developer volunteer support (and way less people know Rust to begin with).

I guess right now I have what I'd call 5 separate stacks (in 5 separate docker-compose files):

  • Media Stack
    • Radarr/Sonarr
    • Prowlarr
    • Bazarr
    • Requestrr
    • Overseerr
    • Qbittorrent/Sabnzbd
    • Tdarr
  • Game Stack
    • Pterodactyl Panel
    • Pterodactyl Wings
    • (Several other services supporting Pterodactyl)
  • Utility Stack
    • Watchtower
    • Vaultwarden
    • Gatus
    • Gitea
  • Lemmy Stack
    • (... Lemmy and it's associated containers)
  • Network Stack
    • Caddy
    • Cloudflare DDNS
    • Cloudflared (Tunnel)

I'm planning on doing some more Home Assistant related stuff as well at some point

If you have Cloudflare you can set up an email alias for incoming email and then create a secondary Gmail address on top of your existing one for outgoing email. If you go to 'Settings > Accounts and Import > Send mail as' and add another email address (not an alias) with the same email as the one you setup on Cloudflare (noreply@yourdomain.com). You will likely need to create a Gmail app password to sign into the email server if you use 2FA.

Once you've created this email Gmail will send you a confirmation email to confirm it's all working. Then you can just enter Google's SMTP server info for Lemmy along with your email you used to login to the SMTP server when you added a new email in Gmail settings (your actual email, not the CF one), and the app password you created.

If done it this way for a few services beyond Lemmy and it's worked well so far. This way you're also using a Gmail account technically so you can hopefully avoid blacklists and spam filters.
