I also have a Tuta account which is where I use my custom domain addresses (the number of aliases is unlimited there too, and I have so many!).

From what I’ve read, I’m not sure Posteo has a solution to this issue. I’ve read about a workaround, but also that it might have some issues.

But I do love Posteo for their stance on privacy and use of green energy, and the price is so reasonable. I’m thinking I might just have half a dozen or aliases there: one for mailing lists, one for online ordering, one for non-essential website logins and so on.

Big fan of Posteo here too. I’ve always found their customer support very responsive and helpful.

The only drawback for me is that they don’t support custom domains, which I can understand. I’ve yet to wrap my head round how I could use use a Posteo emal address alongside multiple aliases on a custom domain (perhaps using something like addy.io or similar).

From just a quick look so far, it seems really versatile. Thanks for the work you’ve put into this!
Exactly this, and the other benefit of hashtags (at least on some apps for Mastodon) is that you can mute them. So, if you’re following someone whose posts you enjoy, except their posts about #rugby, you can mute those posts and not see any of them. I find it a really great way to keep my feed as only those things I’d prefer to see.

I agree it’s definitely worth following hashtags liberally for things you’re interested in. Your feed should really open up with that.

But it’s also worth doing a longish #introduction post, adding hashtags of things you like and pinning that to your profile. You might already have done that but you can always do a fresh one. People will also boost introduction posts so that might get your profile out there more.

I have an introduction pinned on my profile if it helps:

I’ve been looking forward to the new edition. Very glad to see it’s finally out there. I hope there’ll be a print version soon.

I have a domain2 for all mailing list and non-critical services, which I’d be able to take elsewhere if I ever change provider (I’m with Tuta so I’m hoping not to have to do that anytime soon).

I own domain1 for all friends, family and critical services (like banking etc). So far, it works well.

I did quite enjoy the original novel of The Ritual but I’m surprised to see it take the number 1 spot. I’m also a fan of House of Leaves.

Of the 25 books here, my top three would John Langan’s The Fisherman (he is a superb writer); the Ligotti collection; and the Laird Barron collection.

I’m ashamed to say I’ve read fewer than half of these, but at least this means I had quite a lot of (unknown to me) books to seek out!
