How do I make my OneFront page discoverable on Mastodon and the fediverse?
Updated July 20, 2026
The short answer
OneFront pages answer WebFinger requests at onefront.org/.well-known/webfinger, the same discovery mechanism Mastodon and other fediverse software use to resolve an acct:username@onefront.org address to a real profile. That means fediverse tools that look up your handle can find your OneFront page as your profile. You don't configure anything — the endpoint responds for your username automatically once your page is live.
The fediverse — Mastodon and the software around it — has a standard way to look someone up by a handle like you@domain. It's called WebFinger, and OneFront answers it for your page automatically.
What WebFinger does
WebFinger resolves an address like acct:yourname@onefront.org into links to your actual profile. It's the quiet discovery layer that lets fediverse tools turn a handle into a real person. OneFront responds to these lookups for your username, pointing back to your page — so software that queries WebFinger can find your OneFront page as your profile.
Nothing to configure
This isn't a setting you toggle. The endpoint at /.well-known/webfinger answers for your username the moment your page is live. It's part of the same philosophy as everything else on OneFront: the standards that let people, search engines, and now fediverse tools find and read you are built in from the start, not bolted on when you remember to ask for them.
How to be discoverable on the fediverse, step by step
- 1Publish your page. Make sure your OneFront page is live — WebFinger responds for your username once it exists.
- 2Know your address. Your fediverse-style address is acct:yourname@onefront.org, resolvable via the WebFinger endpoint.
- 3Let tools resolve it. Fediverse software and directories that query WebFinger can now find your OneFront page as your profile — no setup on your end.
