To combat email issues over the past week I have upgraded the email setup and security so it will hopefully be more reliable.

I think I just tripped over this, and found my answer in a random support post elsewhere.
I created an account and then was unable to log in as it, the Login button would activate, turn into a spinner, and then revert to ‘login’.
It turns out that the instance was waiting for me to validate my email address. This may be a larger Lemmy problem instead of an instance one, but having the login button identify that it failed due to incomplete account setup (missing email validation) would be helpful for end-users.
It is a larger lemmy issue. There is a bug logged for it already. There is some stuff you can do to fix it (which I have done) but issue is there were some email changes to lemmy between 0.18.2 a d 0.18.3 and there was no warning or anything logged when email broke so some admins are still unaware if users dont tell them somehow.
Another bug is logged for the fact there is no way to resend the verification email so some accounts are being left in limbo since the email gets lost and thats the end of the process at this time.
