I’ve heard that enabling CloudFlare DDoS protection on Lemmy breaks federation due to the amount of ActivityPub traffic.

You need to get a cert from Let’s Encrypt (using certbot), then look up directions for configuring nginx to use the cert files generated by certbot.

There are only 3 hard problems in programming:

0: Cache invalidation
2: Race conditions
1: Naming things
3: Off-by-one errors

You don’t need a mail server if all you want is a custom email domain. You can just use something like CloudFlare DNS to have them forward all emails to your domain to another private email address (e.g. Gmail).

I’ll use IPv6 as soon as my ISP starts supporting it.
