@help I have a mastodon friendly user name set, but can’t follow myself. Is it me?

@crumblingbiscuit what’s your handle I over there?

@JohnPhilpin @tho99

@crumblingbiscuit using the beta version of micro.blog

@crumblingbiscuit just found and followed

@crumblingbiscuit and then I followed you here aswell …

@JohnPhilpin Sorry, misunderstood @crumblingbiscuit

@crumblingbiscuit yea looks like I can’t follow that one either

@JohnPhilpin mayhap @Manton needs to do something manually for „old“ accounts

@crumblingbiscuit yeah not sure …I’m learning something new every time I open the app at the moment

@crumblingbiscuit @JohnPhilpin This looks like a DNS configuration issue. I don't think the root domain zahr.koeln is pointed to Micro.blog.

@help will investigate, thanks

@help the cname is: crumblingbiscuit.micro.blog.zahr.koeln

@crumblingbiscuit As @help wrote earlier, you have to set up a DNS record for your root domain (zahr.koeln) as well. Follow the instructions on the page Custom Domains. The relevant parts:

• If you want to use a root domain such as yourdomain.com, create an "A" record wherever your domain is registered and use the IP address value: "104.200.22.214".
• If you want both the root domain and www.yourdomain.com to work, you'll need both an "A" record for the root domain and a "CNAME" record for the "www" version. You can enter either "yourdomain.com" or "www.yourdomain.com" in the Design page settings in Micro.blog.

@sod thanks, ‘twas the A-record 104.200.22.214 never noticed ‘cause the blog worked
