Looks like one of those recorded message things you find inside greeting cards - the glob of stuff below the black epoxy blob (the ic), looks like a badly corroded button.
Can try cleaning the button up a bit, or removing it entirely, and bridge the connections beneath it.
I’m thinking this would be the case if your instance had more than 1 user subscribed to that community in the large instance - but if it is just you, wouldn’t it be similar to accessing each instance and viewing the communities there?
Not sure if you’re hosting on AWS (if yes, free for the first 62k/month), else the $0.10/1k/month shouldn’t be too bad - https://aws.amazon.com/ses/pricing/
From my past experience with Sendgrid, it is trash, most of their shared IPs have poor reputation anyways, had lots of issues with them.
Running your own email server might be a good learning experience, a quick search brought up this all-in-one container solution - https://mailu.io/2.0/
Messing about with Postfix directly could be a painful experience, but yet another possibility.
Either way, new IPs will probably take some time to warm up, so don’t expect full deliverability for the first few days/weeks.
You should check that your cloud provider doesn’t block outgoing smtp traffic - iirc digital ocean and GCP do block.
Yea, this is surprising nice!
Have you tried coffee with light beer? (Lagers/pils, not the usual stouts)
On the fence for these 🙃
I noticed this too, but it feels more like a pull for the community is scheduled, and usually within minutes I’ll see in under my subscribed.
Perhaps you could share what is the model of your thin client? So we can get a grasp of what we’re dealing with.
