@alexisbushnell An advantage to using different domains is it makes it more simple to compartmentalise things, so if a pixelfed instance goes viral and runs out of resources your blog will stay up etc.

@alexisbushnell Completely possible to run multiple things off one domain, e.g. I have a Wordpress base blog (thegeoff.net) but can run individual projects on their own pages (thegeoff.net/stellarsynth). Running multiple, complex bits of software (say, a Wordpress install and a Mastodon install) may be easier done with subdomains, but there's no "right" way. Hosts will be more/less helpful with automation, but it's all doable if you have a "proper" server, as opposed to pure GUI website.

@_thegeoff ah, I don't envisage that being a problem but it probably makes sense to prepare for it rather than panic if it happens!
@alexisbushnell Always useful to make sure the account shuts down rather than bills you if you suddenly get a billion requests and aren't a large business ;)
@alexisbushnell You could use a subdomain, eg social.yourdomain.com.
