@mitra @silverpill Congrats on the split-domain support! I have added Mitra to https://correct.webfinger-canary.fietkau.software/#implementation-status

The only feature it's missing for an all-green table row is per-user custom WebFinger domains. I am on a long-term side mission to advocate for ActivityPub platforms to enable personal custom handle domains this way. ☺️

@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.

@silverpill Good to know, thank you! IMO there should be no restrictions on the two domains – I use two subdomains for convenience reasons, but platforms should support two completely different domains as well.

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. πŸ˜„
