   I wonder when we'll see custom domain #WebFinger in the #Fediverse / #ActivityPub ?

   For example, I want to use:
   * @-live.youronly.one for my #Streams account
   * @-sns.youronly.one for my #Firefish account
   * @-photos.youronly.one for my #Pixelfed account
   * @-mblog.youronly.one for my #Mastodon account
   * @-reading.youronly.one for my #BookWyrm account

   Ideally, even if I move to a new host/service, I can use the same WebFinger.

     @mariusor It is preferable. Though I can't imagine how a client can determine what the user wants to view.

     For example, if someone from InstanceA running Firefish wants to view my Pixelfed, but I have other software running behind it.

     It will probably require all existing software to add an interface to let the user select.

     It's probably a good first step to implement the basic, one software for one custom WebFinger. As to what happens if the user migrates to a different software…

     But, as an end-user, it is also more manageable for me to have a 1:1 setup. Like in my examples, @-photos.youronly.one for my Pixelfed and @-reading.youronly.one for my BookWyrm, and so on.

     (Hopefully I understood your reply correctly. ^_^:)

     @youronlyone wouldn't having the same ActivityPub actor for all of those be preferable?

     You could still access different client applications that show different content types, but the underlying user would be the same.

     @youronlyone the client only knows about some type of content, and you as the user know what kind of content you want to see, therefore you select the proper client. If you want to see images, you use pixelfed, if you want to see short form text, you use pleroma/mastodon/firefish.
