Aug 25, 2026, 7:58 PM@liaizon@social.wake.st I'm testing my split domain setup but it can't seem to resolve your webfinger properly. BrowserPub suggests it's a content-type issue in your webfinger :smiley:

@liaizon@social.wake.st yeah it does, just seems to be due to stricter checks on my end. I don't know if that's the right content type though.

@julian its because its being served from github pages and theres nothing I can do to change that. cause wake.st is my static website...

@liaizon@wake.st okay, I added some code to handle your specific use case.
You're also @liaizon@wake.st now, so split domain support now works on NodeBB :smiley:

@julian wowowowow thank you. It will also help a handfull of other people who still have their single user mastodon instances set up like this. It used to be in the mastodon docs ages ago
