@julian Thanks!

Mitra supports subdomain.domain.tld -> domain.tld setups, but not setups with two different subdomains like @canary@correct.webfinger-canary.fietkau.software of yours.
I'll fix that in the next release.

At least in my opinion. The vocal opponents of split-domain handles say that a user's handle should tell you where their profile is hosted, and there are nuances around things like domain blocks.

But if you ask me, I should be able to set a custom handle domain in my profile settings. 😄
