LPT: If a site doesn't accept alias sites like Simplelogin, create the account with a disposable email site then change it to your alias (lemmy.world)

I pay for proton plus in my own domain and have them linked together so that I can just use whatever email address at my domain I wish and can easily switch email providers if I decide to. The hardest part was setting up the DNS records properly for DMark and shit.
