ipv6 enabled (self.lemmyworld)

I enabled the ipv6 address for lemmy.world. Should work now.

Next step would be enable dnssec, have to figure out how that worked again.

Excellent description, but one point of note; IPv6 has been around for 27 years now, has been a fully functional draft standard for 24 years, and a full-on Internet Standard since 2017. The switch to it and away from IPv4 is long overdue.

I just need a technique for remembering ipv6 addresses, they're great but I miss being able to easily memorise ipv4 D:

I miss that too, but sadly there is no easy equivalent. You just have to make local DNS your friend. I’m in the process of going ipv6-only on my home LAN (because I’m a tech nerd). I enable avahi/bonjour on everything that supports it, then I simply connect to <hostname>.local.

Any servers that require a static v6 IP address get something like <prefix>::BABE:CAFE:1 mostly just as a way to remind myself that the address is static and not allocated by SLAAC.
