Hello everyone I recently got mastodon running on my server and everything seems to be running fine.

the trouble I’m having now though is with my username being shown differently on different remote instances.
I set my local domain to example.com
and my web domain to mastodon.example.com
following the guide from mastodon
masto-docs

it mentions adding this to the nginx of example.com

location /.well-known/webfinger {
  add_header Access-Control-Allow-Origin '*';
  return 301 https://mastodon.example.com$request_uri;
}

so I did that and it seems to be working as when I search my username from another mastodon instance my user shows up how I expect user@example.com

but when I search for my user on pixelfed it shows up as user@mastodon.example.com

Im using nginx proxy manager instead of nginx so maybe I added the webfinger to the wrong place? also from searching around online there might be other things I need to add for a more broad federation fix instead of just mastodon but Im not really sure what all that means

fediverse custom domains
