[query] Suggestions for sharing a domain with Mastodon
lofidevops opened this issue · 1 comments
It looks like the reference instance https://bots.tinysubversions.com lives completely independently of any other ActivityPub service, e.g. Mastodon. Is it possible to set up the rss-to-activitypub service so it can share a domain with another service. In other words, a person can post from @human@example.com and a feed bot from @bot@example.com
Or would they have to live at separate domains? @human@example.com and @bot@feeds.example.com
I think it's good practice to keep separate servers/services on separate domains (by subdomain). Specifically the way ActivityPub works, if we had the RSS thing on the same domain as Mastodon, every time someone tried to create an RSS account like @foo@example.com, we would have to first check if a Mastodon user existed at @foo@example.com. This is possible to do but to me it also opens up a can of worms around security and identity issues. So my opinion is that this should live on a different domain (or subdomain) than other AP services.
