Do you need a domain name if you are hosting a Lemmy instance, or will it work fine with just an ip-address + port (e.g. <username>@<ip-address>:<port>)?

    But wouldn’t that be the certificate of the other instance, not your local one?

      As others mentioned other things need to connect to your instance so valid ssl matters

      Since AP servers both accept incoming connections and make outgoing connections, both sides need valid certificates to do HTTPS.

        Alright, wasn’t aware it needed to be both sides
