    Do you need a domain for a selfhosted instance? That sounds like something I would like to try but I’ve never opened anything selfhosted up to the internet

      Yeah you do, IPs don’t work afaik and even if they did, many Fediverse servers don’t support them so your compatibility would be abysmal
