Mastodon verification

[cooljeanius]

I recently added a link to my Tweetback archive to my Mastodon profile. It would be nice if there were an easy way to make the link turn green to verify that it's actually mine.

are you just asking for a meta tag?
according to https://joinmastodon.org/verification you just need a rel="me"
so add
<link rel="me" value="your mastodon link" /> to https://github.com/tweetback/tweetback/blob/main/_includes/layout.11ty.js#L43

thanks, but I just tried that, and it didn't work; the link isn't green yet:

https://opensource.com/article/22/11/verified-mastodon-website says it should be an anchor (a) tag
https://fedi.tips/how-do-i-verify-my-account/ says it should be link href not link value

I guess i got the original html wrong, the first link says there's a UI that tells you exactly what to put.

Tried it like that, but it still doesn't seem to be turning green yet...

You put an anchor in the header. That's not a thing.

I'm going to again suggest reading instead of just guessing. I was just trying to point you in the direction not giving you an exact solution (as it's not a problem I'm having)
