Annika BackstromWelcome to the Fediverse! Get the fuck off mastodon.social as soon as possible
Cougar 🇪🇪 🌻@annika Is there any simple way to set up Fediverse webfinger or similar service to use @mydomainname in handle without running dedicated server? I'd like to be part of bigger community than one user but still have the username that I can use forever and move around
@cougar Mastodon itself doesn't support this. The closest you get is a one-way alias on your own domain that points to your account elsewhere https://blog.maartenballiauw.be/post/2022/11/05/mastodon-own-donain-without-hosting-server.html
Woozle HypertwinWhat frustrates me is that it's entirely possible to write an external app to do post-migration. it wouldn't have to run on the same server or even be in the same language (Masto is written in Ruby). I just haven't had time...
(The one catch is that I'm not sure if the API allows backdating new posts -- but that could be ameliorated by adding a header or footer indicating that the post was migrated, and its original timestamp.)
