I’d like to self-host Lemmy or kbin and mastodon. I know I could use different subdomain for each, but I’d much rather keep it short. Something tells me, however, that other instances might not be happy about it.
I think you should try it out just to see what happens. Worst case it doesn’t work, and if it does work there’s a good chance you’ll uncover some bugs that need fixing.
You are not logged in. However you can subscribe from another Fediverse account, for example Lemmy or Mastodon. To do this, paste the following into the search field of your instance: [email protected]
A community to talk about the Fediverse and all it’s related services using ActivityPub (Mastodon, Lemmy, KBin, etc).

yes you can use the same domain, but you may need different subdomains for everything to work happily.
By no means an expert but how do you want to set it up? Different subdomains or folders?
I think subdomains are actual FQDN’s and will not cause issues. Folders might be an interesting experiment.
pretty sure federation protocol is looking for <NAME>:<PORT>
i haven’t seen instances use a sub-directory
Could just do like I do and make it lemmy.whatever.tld and mastodon.whatever.tld
This is more or less what my instance blahaj.zone does. blahaj.zone is calckey and lemmy.blahaj.zone is lemmy.
Hello fellow blahajian
I think subdirs would break the whole fedi handle system; [email protected]/masto wouldn’t make sense to most clients.
How is that going to even work, technically?

I’d prefer something like SRV dns records, but that’s not an option here.
Yes, but at least one of the services must be using a subdomain.

It looks like there is a way to run Mastodon on subdomain.example.com, while having user ids in [email protected] format. https://github.com/felx/mastodon-documentation/blob/master/Running-Mastodon/Serving_a_different_domain.md
But since I have no idea how lemmy addresses users from other instances, this might not work for me.
