for support you need to contact the admin of your instance. there is no ‘lemmy support’.
also, don’t use 2FA, idk if it got better but there was a time where a lot of people lost their account because the instance glitched and 2FA was reset.
just use a bitwarden generated password ~20 chars and it is ok.
another advice, if you messed up an account, create another and leave the older. i don’t think the admins have the tooling to restore 2FA or reset your password.
yes it is.
most likely there is nothing wrong with your registration, that instance is just overloaded / manual approval.
try a different one maybe?
bonus, on most instances you don’t even need an email to register.
i’m not good with names.
my server’s name is… server
All the services available from internet, just goes through traefik to terminate https, I rely on the build in authentication of each service. To add another layer of security, I have fail2ban active on all those services.
I have a public IP, and I have open on my router ports 80, 443, a random port for ssh and vpn.

Since I like the ability of btrfs to do snapshots, I created all important docker volumes as btrfs subvolumes. Then I created a backup script that literally sends the subvolume (encrypted) to an external cloud. This does not allow incremental backups and most likely is not the best backup solution… but it works… the repo is: https://github.com/simone-viozzi/btrfs2cloud-backup
funny how here in Italy 30k gross per year is a pretty high salary.
software engineers with required experience in a field can get paid as low as 20k and they also want you to actually go to their office.
