That has to be addressed in the web server configuration by putting the
mailman ScriptAlias (assuming apache) in a place where it applies
globally or to the my-hostname.domain.com domain.

The links will point to the host name that's configured in the hidden
web_page_url attribute that was configured for the list when you
created it.

You're missing the initial quote above. I assume that's a typo, or
nothing would work.

You need to fix your web server config so 'my-hostname.domain.com'
works.
Then you need to run
bin/withlist -r fix_url -a
which will set the host_name and web_page_url attributes of each list
to my.domain.com and http://my-hostname.domain.com/mailman/
respectively.
Then you probably want to add
VIRTUAL_HOST_OVERVIEW = Off
(or No) to mm_cfg.py so that all your new lists will be created in the
default domains.
