Strypey@strypey@mastodon.nzoss.nz: @benpate have you looked into how @takahe were able to host multiple domain names on one Takahē server? Is that something you've considered for BandWagon, as part of account portability?

A service like bandwagon.fm could be a co-op, owned by the artists whose music it hosts. It could be a social enterprise, whose constitution prioritises the needs of those artists over the financial interests of owners.

But however its governance is structured, one of the best ways to keep services accountable is the freedom to leave. So social publishing services need to enable publishers to use their own domain names for account and post URLs, and provide full account export.

Yes, Emissary already serves multiple domains from the same server cluster.

Right now, Bandwagon.fm is two web servers and three databases (way more than I need, but fun to test on). It’s the same cluster that serves fixe or six domains.

So yes, it’s ready to host a bunch more domains, then let people bounce from one server over to the next (on my cluster or elsewhere)
