Can we serve an instance from subdomain while using main domain as handle? (lemy.lol)

For example my domain is server.tld and I'm serving my instance from lemmy.server.tld. Can I configure Lemmy to use my main domain (server.tld) as handle like @user@server.tld instead of @user@lemmy.server.tld?

Matrix supports this: https://matrix-org.github.io/synapse/latest/delegate.html#delegation-of-incoming-federation-traffic
Mastodon supports this: https://docs.joinmastodon.org/admin/config/#web_domain

But I couldn't find a document for Lemmy. Even if it's not happening now, is there a possibility that it could be done in the distant future? @dessalines@lemmy.ml @nutomic@lemmy.ml

I was not able to do this with Lemmy. On both Mastodon and Matrix I use my base domain just like for my email address but for Lemmy I had to use the subdomain.

The biggest issue was that both of them use webfinger and it was impossible to point that file to two services.

You just need to setup webfinger to do it I think. I couldn't get it to work properly though.. possibly it's broken.

Is it similar process like Mastodon?
