Finally found an inexpensive way to join the fediverse while still using my domain/identity with @takahe
It Solves my biggest gripe with the current fediverse apps - takahe actually separates identity domain from the one that runs the instance (though you have to proxy some well-known urls). So I can run it at fedi.karthikbalakrishnan.com while having my identity be @me
Mastodon compatible APIs so you can use the same client apps
It's is small enough to run on the always free tier GCP instance 🤯
@me Tahake is great! Been wanting to try it for a while, but mastodon is sticky.
Can you proxy the well-known stuff with just a static website?
@nemo I think you technically can, but webfinger uses a query param which means you are stuck with single-actor per domain (which is probably what you'd want anyway).
I'm using a cloudflare worker to do the proxying for this.
