Mastodon on your own domain without hosting a server
Updated:I wanted a Mastodon address on my own domain without running a server. The trick is WebFinger: serve your Mastodon instance’s WebFinger JSON at /.well-known/webfinger on your domain, and @you@yourdomain resolves to your existing account. I use it as a forwarding address that survives switching servers. Updated October 2026: Mastodon and the instances running it have changed since 2022, so the UI may not match what you see in the screenshots or my descriptions. The WebFinger part works the same way.
