Diastasis — how do I know if mine is 'bad'
I can fit two fingers in above my belly button, less below. I've read that two is fine and also that two is a problem, depending on the website. Is there an actual answer here or is everyone guessing?

Tessa's advice got me off the internet and into an actual room with an actual person and it was the best thing I did last year.

Then that's your answer, and it's a fixable one. Doming just means the load is more than the tissue can currently manage — it's information, not damage.

It domes. I've been trying not to notice that it domes.

Width matters less than what it does under load. A two-finger gap that stays tense and flat when you lift your head is a very different thing to one that domes or sinks. That's why the websites disagree — they're all measuring the wrong thing. Worth getting someone to watch you move rather than measuring fingers.
