Hey #xmpp and #jabber experts on Mastodon: my XMPP server is im.interfree.ca, and so my JID is fastfinge@im.interfree.ca. However, I would like to alias my JID to fastfinge@interfree.ca. That way my email, jabber, and fediverse id's are all the same. I control the DNS on the entire domain. How can I do this? A quick search isn't finding me a list of clear and straightforward steps.
@fastfinge There is no such thing as alias in #xmpp fastfinge@im.interfree.ca is a different account than fastfinge@interfree.ca. I think you can set up interfere.ca as another virtualhost and use migrate.modernxmpp.org
@martin@fastfinge They are different accounts indeed, but I think what you are looking for is DNS SRV entries. prosody.im/doc/dns explains it better than I would. Also, do not hesitate to ask in the support room of your xmpp server directly. As expected, people developing xmpp servers are usually available for support on xmpp. :)
Since we've got Nicoco here ... could we hack around this by setting up an XMPP transport, where you'd use the 'old' JID as if it were a remote/legacy domain?
@guusdk@nicoco@martin I could. But I’m leaning towards just putting up with the subdomain. Especially because I discovered I can make a clickable url out of my jid. So it’s less bad.
