LPT: If a site doesn't accept alias sites like Simplelogin, create the account with a disposable email site then change it to your alias (lemmy.world)

I just did this on a website that said my Simplelogin alias isn't allowed for signup, but changed it successfully after the fact from a disposable email.

Yeah pretty much, its a way to sending and receiving emails without giving out your real email address. Instead you give aliases than end with "@simplelogin.com", to protect your privacy and which are then forwarded to the email you provide to simplelogin. The received emails have a different sender address, for instance instead of [email protected], you see: the forums_at_macrumors_com_`randomcharactershere`@simplelogin.co.

You can actually reply to forums_at_macrumors_com_... and simplelogin will forward the email.
