I believe you can literally just add a . To the end of your own gmail and it will go to yours. Ie [email protected] will go to [email protected].
Actually, hello.1@gmail will go to hello1@gmail.
The one you are thinking I believe is hello+1@gmail will go to hello@gmail
Correct, Gmail essentially doesn't "see" dots hello@gmail is the same as h.e.l.l.o@gmail
hello+anything@gmail will also be delivered to hello@gmail. This is great for signing up for mailing lists or subscriptions then creating a filter afterwards to do with it what you please.
This particular quirk can be easily accounted for tbqh.
