Hi y’all! I’m looking at setting up a hosted mastodon instance through Masto.host, and I’d like it to be the same as the domain name I use for my microblog. (Chrishandy.blog) and I don’t want it to be on a subdomain.
They have instructions on how to do this on this page, but I’m not sure how to implement. Can I do this via some kind of plugin?
Any ideas or help appreciated as I’d like to keep my mastodon name pretty simple. Ultimately having something like @chris@chrishandy.blog (as opposed to the inferior @chris@social.chrishandy.blog).
According to that page you can set up a redirect. I haven’t tested this with Mastodon, but if that’s true, it should be as simple as going into Micro.blog → Pages → New Redirect and creating a redirect from:
That’s interesting. No plug-in can do this, but I don’t see why we couldn’t preserve URL parameters on the redirect automatically. I’ll start by preserving resource and if it works well we can expand it.
