When signing up for mastohost with an existing domain I own (whatever.com) the signup process forced me to use a subdomain (something.whatever.com). I don’t currently have a website on that root domain, but I would like to one day. Do I really have to have a long three part domain? Is there a way around it or is this a limitation of mastodon/mastohost?
Hey all. I’ve followed the instructions on Masto.Host and set up an instance on a subdomain (let’s say it’s m.Cromarty.com - it isn’t) but have usernames set without the subdomain (i.e. @cromarty@cromarty.com not @cromarty@m.Cromarty.com). Everything seems to be working fine, and in my app of choice I’m not seeing the subdomain. For some reason my handle is showing as @cromarty@m.cromarty.com in certain places, for example the Mastodon iOS app and Ivory. Is this to be expected or is there an additional step that I have missed in order to see @cromarty@cromarty.com everywhere? Any help appreciated!
