A reminder, if you own your own domain you can quickly setup webfinger like this https://www.hanselman.com/.well-known/webfinger (can just be a static file, or dynamic) so that if someone searches mastodon (use me as an example) for @shanselman then it will call out to my domain, find me, and tell you my aliases, which is my account at hachyderm.io. Cool eh? Should take you just a few min to implement!
@shanselman awesome. I wanted to set up my domain but it feels like way too much work to run a whole instance just for me. This is a nice compromise
@rowdypixel @shanselman I don’t run Mastodon, yet here I am. I use GoToSocial, which is a single Golang binary using a sqlite database (it can use Postgres too). It is easy to setup, and runs coolishly on a $5/month VPS, which also run many other things.
