I’m interested in setting up my own instances for Lemmy, Mastodon, and Matrix.

Can I use the same https://domain.tld for all of them without any subdomains?

For example:
lemmyuser@mydomain.tld
mastodonuser@mydomain.tld
matrixuser@mydomain.tld

Will this work across all of my self-hosted instances, or do I need to append a subdomain for each, e.g., lemmyuser@lemmy.mydomain.tld?

    Regardless of configuration, you still need to access the instance from mastodon.mydomain.tld or lemmy.mydomain.tld, but you can configure the Mastodon to use @mastodonuser@mydomain.tld as its identifier by setting WEB_DOMAIN to mydomain.tld.

    Mastodon documentation on the topic: https://docs.joinmastodon.org/admin/config/#web_domain

    You are able to host all these services and more on the same domain. I do a similar thing with different services at different subdomains. I don’t believe the username@ portion can help point to different services, that syntax is usually associated with email addresses.

    I think the best way to go about it would be having different subdomains such as lemmy.domain.tld, matrix.domain.tld, etc.
    To accomplish that, I have a wildcard subdomain point to my server, my reverse proxy (Caddy) handles figuring out which subdomain maps to which service on top of handling TLS certificates for me.

      Good to know and I was hoping that’s the case. As soon as my new domain resolves I’m going to install lemmy, matrix, and funkwhale.

      Are you running all of yours in containers?
