lot of people using their own domains for their handles. They are not hosting their own instances

This is something the AT Protocol does well. Your identity is portable and can be separate from the instance you use.

In theory, you can move to a different instance but keep your handle the same. There's no way to do that with ActivityPub. If you move to a new Lemmy or Mastodon server, you have to change your username to one at the instance's domain.
