is it better to use subdomains or paths? (lemmy.blahaj.zone)

I have a few selfhosted services, but I'm slowly adding more. Currently, they're all in subdomains like linkding.sekoia.example etc. However, that adds DNS records to fetch and means more setup. Is there some reason I shouldn't put all my services under a single subdomain with paths (using a reverse proxy), like selfhosted.sekoia.example/linkding?

If your router has NAT reflection, then the problem you describe is non existent. I use the same domain/protocol both inside and outside my network.

Does NAT reflection still work if your PC is connected to a VPN?

I don't know for sure... but my instinct is that NAT reflection is moot in that case, because your connection is going out past the edge router and doing the DNS query there, which will then direct you back to your public IP. I'm sure there's somebody around that knows the answer for certain!
