Issues with emails not verified (thediscussion.site)

Having an issue with logging in on alternate browsers due to email isn't verified. Would it be okay to export the database, manually make the change and then re-import it? Or could I connect to the database from a program on my computer to make the changes?

Yes. You can use an existing SMTP server (gmail [legacy app mode], yahoo, microsoft, etc). One thing to keep in mind -- if you decide to go that route don't use your personal account because the address might be exposed in the mail headers. Create a dedicated account and use that instead.

lemmy.hjson

email: {
    smtp_server: "smtp.example.tld:[port]" # port 25, port 587, etc
    smtp_login: "username"
    smtp_password: "password"
    smtp_from_address: "[email protected]" # or [email protected]
    tls_type: "tls" # or starttls
}
