aminb@Gargron Hey, if I'm running mastodon on a subdomain (using WEB_DOMAIN), would it be possible to switch to top level (i.e. make WEB_DOMAIN same as LOCAL_DOMAIN) without breaking federation?
Eugen Rochko@aminb yes, that shooould be fine i think.
@Gargron Hmm, I just tried it quickly, but messages seemed to get lost; because e.g. mastodon.social thinks example.org is still handled by m.example.org. Any thoughts?
@aminb if you were running on WEB_DOMAIN other people were mentioning you by the *not* m.example.org domain though? only the links were that
@Gargron Yeah exactly. To be precise, the instance for @b runs at m.nda.li. However, when I temporarily commented out WEB_DOMAIN in .env and restarted, seemed like I broke the federation, in that no toots from mastodon.social accounts I follow would show up my personal instance anymore.
Is there anyway to let the other instances know that they should indeed look at nda.li instead of m.nda.li for author/actor URI?
(I know all of this is my fault and should've made my mind up beforehand)
