So, I am working on building a couple of Lemmy sites with the intent of them being sort of community specific. Now, when I was reading setup it felt like establishing multiple lemmy sites in the same code base was possible.

Is this a configuration that is supported?

What do you mean by site? Having one process serve multiple instances with different domains? Or do you just want to define custom styling per community?

Different domains. I got three domains to get running.

And honestly the documentation isn't helping.

You need to run one Lemmy per domain then. I would like to see the parts of the doc that suggest that this is supported.

It's not so much that it suggests it's supported, it's how the ansible install talks about setup.

Specifically this from Lemmy Ansible

mkdir -p inventory/host_vars/your-domain

This makes me think you can setup multiple domains in the host_vars directory

This could mean that multiple lemmy processes can share that folder but it would be a stretch to assume that a single process can serve multiple domains.
