✅ Blogs on custom domains are discoverable
✅ You can choose your handle for your custom domain blog (default: @blog@example.com)
✅ Custom domain blogs have NodeInfo showing them each as a single-user "instance"
✅ AP endpoints should be future-proof for when you can eventually self-host your blog
✅ Posts federate from blogs on custom domains

@writeas_dev Maybe I'm stupid, or maybe just a bit slow because it's nearly 4am, but how are blogs on custom domains discoverable? I'm still very much a Mastodon newbie.

@konc No worries, you'll find them by searching for them from Mastodon, e.g. just type in @blog@yourdomain.com

By default your name will look like that, but if you go to your blog settings it'll show you what your handle is and let you change it to whatever you'd like.

@writeas_dev Ah, so by discoverable you have to manually search for it, it's not likely to just show up in the federated timeline or anything all of a sudden. Got it. :)

Follow

@konc Right, but once you follow the blog from any given instance it'll show up on the federated timeline for everyone, since it knows about it after that.
