Aren’t link-local only applicable to a single switch, rather than a more involved LAN with several subnets and routers and whatnot?

  It is - but if you have multiple subnets on your local lan you should have local DNS or similar (or know prefix:1::1 is the router, etc).

    But in that case, that is considerably more difficult than just IPv4, as I now need to remember the prefix. Which isn’t stable, as it’s often reassigned by my ISP.

      Are ISPs really doing dynamic IPs for v6? That seems incredibly silly.

        They usually “do” but very long lived - every time my modem died I got a new prefix. Lightning.
