- Neuromatch Fork: https://github.com/NeuromatchAcademy/mastodon
We will make:
- One "default" instance at neuromatch.social
- One Dev Instance at dev.neuromatch.social
We will be following the official Mastodon setup docs (except cloning our fork of glitch-soc instead of the base masto repo):

Configure the email server
Create a SendGrid account, go to Settings > API Keys, and generate an API key.
Then set up the config like this:
SMTP_SERVER=smtp.sendgrid.net
SMTP_PORT=587
SMTP_LOGIN=apikey
SMTP_PASSWORD=<your-api-key>
SMTP_FROM_ADDRESS=youremail@gmail.com
(for SMTP_LOGIN literally just use "apikey")
