Not a single Lemmy server requires mail afaik. It's always optional I think!
Anyways, I always use one of the 10minutemail websites for stuff like this.
I was looking into opening an account at aiparadise.moe, but https://aiparadise.moe/signup lists email as a required field. And if @admin@aiparadise.moe is hand-reviewing applications, an obvious circumvention of the required field might not be appreciated or approved.
Happy to see your interest in aiparadise.moe! Personally I use proton mail for all my email account (https://proton.me). Can have your first and last name as your username or whatever you want, they also don't require having an email already (only if you want password recovery) hope that helps!
I might give them a try. I already tried to do @planish@aiparadise.moe with
planish@sh.itjust.worksas an "email", and that did not work even a little bit. So now I guess I need a new name over there unless you want to use your admin powers to clean up my bad life choices.Should be able to reapply with your desired username with a proper email, nothing should be reserved on our end for it anymore. Let me know if it gives you any trouble though!
Also you could post to their server with this account and ask them for an account
That's a good point. My turbo-nerd values beep angrily when I find something I want can only be gotten by asking a real human nicely, and being likable enough to be accepted, and not, say, via a well-documented freely available API call. But sometimes that's life.
Oh you're right. Also my suggestion with a 10minute mail wouldn't work either since it would probably take longer to approve. There are other burner email services though where you can have an email for a longer time.
I think the admin will understand if you explain the reason for the email address.
