If it was, then surely it would be something like @mastodon@github.com or @official@github.com? Just like with emails, you wouldn't expect official emails to be somewhere else.
And no, that doesn't mean everyone needs a full blown Mastodon server, I think just some sort of ActivityPub relay or a more lightweight server implementation would do.

How would you even run Mastodon on a domain that is also expected to be an actual website? AFAIK it doesn't even have a DNS record to point it at a different address. Edit: Apparently the answer is "Webfinger". https://docs.joinmastodon.org/spec/webfinger/ https://docs.joinmastodon.org/spec/webfinger/
- scrollaway 4y agoIt’s a good question. Does activitypub something like mx lookups or does it rely only on A/AAAA? I want to run an AP server on my own domain so I can post from me@mydomain.tld but I want to retain my normal static homepage on my domain.tld…
- ceejayoz 4y agoI have a friend doing that on Masto.host using https://masto.host/mastodon-usernames-different-from-the-domain-used-for-installation/ https://masto.host/mastodon-usernames-different-from-the-dom.... Works well.
