You can use your custom domain :)


You can use your own domain, you're not tied to omg.lol


Where does it talk about using your own domain?

https://home.omg.lol/info

I can't find it in the Help docs.


https://home.omg.lol/info/switchboard, the "external domains" section


That section reads more like you can just have another domain redirect to omg.lol profile, as opposed to be served from that external domain.

Am I reading that correctly?

Meaning, your profile wouldn't be served from "example.com" but instead, "example.com" would simply do a browser redirect to "omg.lol/example"


No, that's not what those docs say you can do. It looks like you can either use a DNS A record to point "example.com" directly to omg.lol's IP address, or use a CNAME record to point "example.com" to whatever IP address "example.omg.lol" points to. In both of these cases, your browser's url bar would still say "example.com".


Yes that. But also in addition to that you can set A or CNAME records and do whatever you want. Just like with any domain. You can even set NS records and manage records with cloudflare.

So yes you can use your own domain but edit the profile with omg.lol


Either on the social.lol mastodon or the IRC https://home.omg.lol/info/irc


Edge is flagging the social.lol mastodon instance, the owner already submitted a reclassification to Microsoft


They will go invite-free next month


It's not a matter of time, but about their mentality. Playing old Google tricks make them lose all good faith.


http://itsnotatypo.com (yes, they registered that domain)


I may be able to help you around that - shoot me an email.
