When trying to add a Mastodon channel, instance is not asked. Account on mastodon.social seems mandatory for the moment.

[ImaCrea]

📜 Description

Tested on postiz.com official hosted version.

I'm directly redirected to mastodon.social when trying to set up a new mastodon account in my channels. Therefore, it doesn't seem possible to add an account which is on another instance. (had to unsub because of that 😢 )

👟 Reproduction steps

• try to add a mastodon channel
• get redirected to mastodon.social authentication in any case

👍 Expected behavior

It should let user type their instance's url and redirect auth to that instance
A menu could also be present to help choose between popular instances, fed by fedidb

👎 Actual Behavior with Screenshots

💻 Operating system

Linux

🤖 Node Version

hosted version on postiz.com

This is a known issue. For self hosted instances, this can be changed by setting the environment variable MASTODON_URL`, but only one mastodon server per instance is possible. It would be a huge improvement, if this could be changed.

Thanks @weddige for the explanation, I appreciate. This is quiet confusing, I was ready to try and eventually pay on postiz hosted service. There's a lot of missed opportunities here. And I can't count on selfhosting it for the moment.

Is there any chance that this could be on the roadmap soon please @nevo-david ?
