Scott Hanselman 👸🏽🐝🌮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!
Benjamin Carlsson@shanselman @SwiftOnSecurity How does it know to call out to hanselman.com when @shanselman is entered?
@ben @SwiftOnSecurity it doesn’t. It’s the domain that causes the call out.
@shanselman @SwiftOnSecurity I'm confused then. Did maybe your original toot have the text of "shanselman @ hanselman.com" but it was replaced by the text "@shanselman"? I don't follow how searching for a domainless username would know to reach out to a domain.
@ben @SwiftOnSecurity lol you’re right! Looks like it swapped it out for my actual name here sorry
