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

    run your server on a subdomain and make it appear as if it’s still the original domain.

    Do you mean make it look like the top level domain? Cause if so, do you have a link I can read a little about? I’m thinking of deploying my own lemmy instance.

      It’s possible by having the webfinger endpoints at the “root” while keeping the rest of Lemmy on a subdomain. The main thing that determines the domain in your username is webfinger.

      No clue if Lemmy or kbin support this config though, but quite a bit of the microblog-only parts of fedi do, and it’s a widely used thing.
