A note on the recent server issues
I sincerely apologize for the server issues as of late.
Unfortunately, the instance is inaccessible until a reboot, which purges the logs that I might use to troubleshoot what was going on. I will hopefully have enough time this weekend to either dig into the issues or to set up some log aggregation to identify what might be causing the issues.
For the time being, I have upgraded the server again in the hopes that throwing some additional power at it might improve the stability.
Some better news, though, I've been working on setting up a copy of this in my homelab and testing out getting it accessible from the outside world. While I definitely don't have as stable of an environment as AWS provides, I can throw a lot more server power at it without incurring a ton of costs and I already have monitoring and logging set up in my homelab to be able to troubleshoot issues more easily.
Again, I hope the server issues haven't been too much of an inconvenience and I hope that in the near future I can provide a much more stable service to everyone.
Thanks again for your patience and for being a part of the community!

Server Instability
Apologies to the community for the server instability this morning. I've resolved it and we shouldn't see any more issues, however, I'll have to figure out getting this on a more stable setup sooner rather than later.

(Updated) Troubleshooting issues with logins
Update 2023-06-12 00:45 CDT
I have identified that accounts that have not verified via email are unable to login. Email verification is impossible because something is up with the Postfix container. I have temporarily disabled email verification so I have some time to troubleshoot the Postfix issues. At least as far as my testing has gone, this has resolved the login issue. I appreciate your patience.
[Original]
A couple of people have reached out to me about issues creating an account and logging in. After a busy week, I'm finally getting some time to really dig into the issues and I think I've figured it out. There may be some instability this afternoon while I work on it, but otherwise there shouldn't be any problems.
I would really appreciate anyone letting me know if they can or cannot create accounts, login, or make posts.
Thanks everyone!

Welcome
Welcome to the Pathfinder and Starfinder Lemmy Community.
As a response to Reddit's recent changes to it's API costs, I've decided to move towards using Lemmy as a link aggregation website. In doing so, I found that there was a lack of Pathfinder and Starfinder communities, so I decided to start one.
Right now this community runs on a t3.small instance on AWS because I had the terraform to spin that up ready to go. In the future I'll be looking to move it to my homelab and hosting it from there.
I have a lot of respect for Paizo as a company, so I strive to stay within their community site guidelines. Please let me know if you notice anything that would violate their terms so I can resolve it immediately.
I'm also not very accustomed to running online communities. If anyone has suggestions or wants to help out, please let me know.
