So, @eatyourglory and I were discussing Lemmy and he had a good question/idea. Could Lemmy communities technically be subdomains? Like instead of Lemmy.world/c/example, it could be example.lemmy.world?

Would this be something that could be theoretically built into Lemmy or is there some kinda technological limitation, making this not a thing..? I think it's a neat idea.🤷‍♂️🤔

The issue is DNS.

Subdomains have to be entered into the Domains dns registry. Now, I think there is a way to do it on the fly, but the issue is gonna be there really.

And at the end of the day, is the complexity of that worth it when just using standard paths works?

Now that I think of it, You'ld also have an issue at the server config. I don't know how you would setup Apache or Nginx to host that.
