Now that a lot of the commotion has subsided I’m just curious to know how y’all are finding the Lemmy experience in general and whether you use it regularly like you did reddit?
I own a domain, for example xyz.com, which means I can create whatever email I want, like lemmy@xyz.com.
The mail server I set up forwards all emails to one inbox. Which means I still get an email if you send it to reddit@xyz.com or whatever@xyz.com and so on, you get the idea.
So when I sign up for an account I don’t use a general email (except for banking stuff, taxes, etc.). If I sign up for Facebook (good riddance) I’d use facebook@xyz.com. That way I also know when I suddenly get a lot of spam who lost my email or sold it off :)
In my case it’s self-hosted, but maybe there are email providers where you can use your own domain that enable the same feature (it’s called wildcard usually).
