Mastodon: Can instance name be root domain name instead of sub domain name?

[fivestone]

If I use a subdomain to build a mastodon instance, - sub.myname.com
and use root domain for another personal website, - myname.com

is it possible to set the username with root domain name? @[email protected]

Thanks.

Only if your instance is also running on the root domain. You have to use the FQDN in your username.
