Is signing up with email forced by devs? I would like to sign up for piedfed but I don't like to include my email for, well, anything psuedo-anonymouse like social networking. I haven't been able to find any instances that don't require email (my preferred is piefed.ca)

It's not forced by devs, it is a setting that admins can turn on or off.

There is the possibility to just host yourself like I do.

Don't lemmy.ca and Piefed.ca align on that requirement? @shadow@lemmy.ca ?

They do these days. Their lemmy.ca account might predate that.

Thank you!

For reference I signed up during the Reddit exodus

Yeah makes sense, we waffled on that requirement originally.

We don't restrict use of anonymous email things, but we require email to reduce the spammers
