would it work to have like, two separate fedi instances that share the same split-domain, depending on the user? (using a custom webfinger)

@kitten Knowing how some of the instance software plays along with each other... You're gonna make something really really cursed there, little kitten. I want to see it happen neocat_devil

I feel it's one of those things where per the standard it should but in practice it won't

we should try this to solve our "the polycule not agreeing on what fedi software to use"

but at the same time it feels like one of those things that one should try on a test domain first

@kitten my guess will be that only one of the two accounts will be resolvable by any given remote instance, specifically the one that the remote instance sees first
iirc there's instance level cryptographic keys, so unless you could get those to be the same it'll run into the issue I mentioned

@ka_so the cryptographic keys are per user, not instance-wide

@kitten huh! Then I wonder what is the barrier of reusing a domain, because I’ve heard that there is a barrier in that

@ka_so if you use the same usernames that will be cached by remote instances. that includes the instance actor used to fetch remote posts and users

my current instance is running on a reused domain
