addy.io offers a free tier if you're looking for an alias provider/alternative.
Wanted to use it but couldn't sign up bc it didnt know my domain. They sent an automatic email to which I should reply to, but I never got a confirmation. Yes, I replied with the same address I've signed up with. That was, however, months ago so I should give it another try.
I use DuckDuckGo’s email hiding service. I have had sites reject signing up with a @duck.com email address. So services will definitely move to block Apple’s new subdomain only for aliased email addresses.
This is a good write up. Thanks for sharing. I use “hide my email” sometimes and it’s important to know that it’s possible to find the real address behind it.
Just get a cheap domain and configure a catch-all redirect. Obviously not a solution viable for normies, but should be easy for many Lemmy users.
Almost every website will accept a custom email domain
It depends on the domain. I intentionally have a bizarre .party domain I use as a shibboleth to see if a company is worth using. If they don’t have a way to use my .party email, I assume they are lazily run and based their decisions either on outdated nonsense or are a gross data mining operation I should avoid anyway.
