Is it possible to change lemmy’s domain after I have already started it once and produced some content? I am thinking of moving to a subdomain but I’m not sure if it will go smoothly
Is renaming the instance domain without reinstalling Lemmy related to changing the WebFinger query? It’s the trick some instances use to have a different instance domain from their username domain, like @user@domain.com while the instance is mastodon.domain.com.
Yes, that was what I was referring to. However, this is assuming that Lemmy has properly implemented webfinger and doesn’t store direct links (which I haven’t checked).
Alternatively, you could proxy all requests with application/activity+json in the Accept or Content-type headers.
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: !selfhosted@lemmy.world
