  I run Maddy on a VPS. It’s pretty much trouble-free.

  I believe you, but the linked article is not about hosting Lemmy.

  I host a few sites and I haven’t had a problem yet. Sure, logs suggest a majority of traffic is bots, but the cheap VPS I’m hosting on hasn’t melted so I haven’t been motivated to do anything about it.

  Yes, but IMAP is more common. I’ve been using Maddy for years, and it’s a fairly low-effort solution.

  The fussy part in the modern era is DNS setup to ensure other providers accept mail from you, but that’s a one-time step.

  ActivityPub doesn’t work that way, but you can follow public Mastodon accounts using RSS.
