@cleverdevil Yes, I want my own domain but without running my own mastodon instance. fed.brid.gy comes close, maybe?
@kwlblt one option is to use WebFinger, as follows - docs.joinmastodon.org/spec/webf...
That said, there are caveats and limitations, and a person needs to be deeply technical to make this work. Web hosts and blogging services with domain registration capabilities are in the best position to make it easy.
