Is it possible to change lemmy’s domain after I have already started it once and produced some content? I am thinking of moving to a subdomain but I’m not sure if it will go smoothly

Is renaming the instance domain without reinstalling Lemmy related to changing the WebFinger query? It’s the trick some instances use to have a different instance domain from their username domain, like @[email protected] while the instance is mastodon.domain.com.
Yes, that was what I was referring to. However, this is assuming that Lemmy has properly implemented webfinger and doesn’t store direct links (which I haven’t checked).
Alternatively, you could proxy all requests with
application/activity+json
in theAccept
orContent-type
headers.
