I replied to the following: ↷

Filippo Valsorda 🦊:calculator: (@filippo@mastodon.social)

In practice it means that I can't have @filippo@filippo.io as my username, and then delegate it to a masto.host instance I access at, say, filippo.masto.host. I need to put the instance on a domain I control and never change, with all the risks involved in delegating a subdomain.For a network that compares itself to email and preaches "own your identity" it certainly makes it hard, unless you go straight for the true and pure solution of self-hosting everything. Users need graceful on-ramps.

That doesn't seem to be the case. There's a few people who use things like https://fed.brid.gy/ to sync from their own instance (or Web site, in more layperson terms) to the fediverse. I've personally done the conventional https://indieweb.org/POSSE out of laziness, tbh (just sending out a POST).
