Ask Lemmy
A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, and toxicity are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either [email protected] or [email protected].
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.
If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email [email protected]. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.
6) No US Politics.
Please don't post about current US Politics. If you need to do this, try [email protected] or [email protected]
Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

Register your own domain! Pick a paid email service that supports it and then you never have trouble moving to a new provider again.
If you get an email provider that does a catchall then you can just make up emails on the spot and any email to any address on your domain will pop into your inbox.
I get simplelogin with Proton and I love that too, generate new email addresses that can't be tied to you but all go to your one inbox.
BTW your concerns with Proton are valid and it can be annoying not being able to use an alternate app for mobile.
What is the most privacy focussed way to register a domain these days?
last time I did it was about 20 years ago and they pretty much just put your home address and telephone number in a Whois lookup.
It depends specifically on the registrar as to whether there is an option to hide those details.
However, many places offer domain privacy services, where they put in their addresses and forward on any contact. Such as https://www.namecheap.com/security/what-is-domain-privacy-definition/
