dynu.com is a dynamic dns service. I don’t think the maintainer of vlemmy.net would be running the instance from a dhcp (variable) IP, to justify using dynamic dns.
Or is it usual for people to run instances from their homes using common ISP subscriber variable IP addresses?
Even more strange that it was registered just last month, according to whois. Is vlemmy.net that new?
Really weird.

If you’re self hosting at home yes dyn dns is far cheaper, and from a users perspective there’s no difference
Aren’t many of these instances a product of the reddit migration? I don’t expect the one I’m on to be much older.
I found some posts from the creator around the beginning of June letting people know they had just set it up, so it does seem to be fairly new.

No. That that would be absolutely ridiculous for anything beyond an ephemeral CounterStrike server.
