Use mailgun free account or something similar. If you don’t your emails will land in spam even if you do get it working on a vps (which many including DigitaOceam dont allow emails due to spam)
Any chance you wouldn't mind walking me through how to set up Lemmy to do that? Any guide or reference would be appreciated.
I don't remember exactly since it was long ago but i believe its: make a mailgun account (make sure you disable the free trial so it doesnt automatically sign you up for the paid service) generate a new mailbox and save the info it gives you and in your config.hjson add your smtp server "smtp.mailgun.org:465", smtp login: "postmaster@mailgun.example.com", smtp password: "randomcharacters", a from_address like: "Lemmy noreply ", and set the tls type to "tls"
If thats all the steps let me know so I can make a request to have it added to the wiki of https://lemmyadmin.site
