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…
