Howdy everyone, this is just an announcement that the instance is currently running well, the server loads are acceptable and everything is working as expected, except for my email service. From what I can tell all of the endpoints are set up correctly for my email service to function, but I'm still waiting on Amazon SES production-level status so that I can send emails to unverified recipients. Pictrs, Postgres, Nginx, Lemmy, and Lemmy-UI are all working as expected though, so this instance is ready for use.
Edit: I have transitioned the email service to purelymail.com, which has allowed me to disable Postfix and not rely on Amazon or any other corporate provider for email services. As such, as of right now, this instance is fully functional.
