Just to be clear, you're talking about Lemmy. There are authentication mechanisms in which the instance never has access to your password, in any form.
I wish I could upvote your comment multiple times for the XKCD comic on this. And to anyone curious, there are many tools which will generate XKCD passwords for you. One's called "correcthorse", and there's another called "correctpony". A github search for "xkcd password" should turn up several.
Why can't the admin just change the Lemmy source code to not hash anymore?
