As of today my posts stopped going to Mastodon. I am entering the posts on the website not through a client. I also noticed that none of my posts this afternoon made it to the timeline. If I don’t see them on the timeline I guess nobody else does either?
I do see those posts in the posts list, as well as on my hosted blog. So they are getting somewhere.
I don’t know if this would be related, but I have also been importing a few hundred posts from my old site.
I changed my custom domain from micro.reputablejournal.com to just reputablejournal.com. But – I didn’t realize that I needed to update that url on the feeds page. - I did have an alias set up so that micro would still work. Once I changed the url on the feeds page then I saw the post I made a while ago show up on the timeline.
The log is now showing me errors related to bad tokens and a few clients I’ve been playing with. I guess I may need to refresh those?
We’ve had some trouble updating the push notifications behind the scenes, because the certificates have to be updated once a year. Working on solving that. It won’t affect publishing your blog or sending replies, but does mean that in some cases someone you’re replying to might not get the push notification on all their devices.
I don’t read documentation unless I’m really stuck so maybe this is covered, but it was definitely not obvious that by going from micro.reputablejournal.com to the naked domain that I would need to do anything to my feeds, especially since I made a CNAME record for the micro. Which I thought would make micro and the naked domain essentially the same.
I’m guessing I’m in a small minority of people who mess with their domains but I was being cautious in my migration from a self hosted site to micro.blog hosting.
Quite a lot of indieweb and other social protocols use domain as a major part of identify, so any domain change has consequences in terms of webmentions, etc.
