Interesting point. I hadn't given that any consideration but if my Mastodon/Lemmy plans don't work out I might give it a shot.
jsyk, with how ActivityPub works changing the software that's running from under it will break federation with you in all sorts of subtle ways. When you pick a thing to run under a domain you're effectively locked into running that software under that domain. And of course there is some cryptographic verification as well so you change the keys (or you wipe or forget to back up the database) you may as well burn that domain from federating ever again.
Thanks for pointing that out! In this case I am using subdomains so hopefully I won't run into any issues with that. I recently bought fdr8.us with the intention of creating subdomains under it for my federated projects. Mastodon.fdr8.us and Lemmy.fdr8.us are now live. If I do a kbin instance it will probably follow the same format.
