I'm not sure how to get my links verified or how to get the checkmarks beside my links in my self-hosted GoToSocial app. In Mastodon, I had verified, but I don't know how to do it in GoToSocial.

Quick note:
If you 1) add your "people" URL as an extra fields in your profile, and 2) add your social.epfl.ch handle to your people.epfl.ch's profile, then you will get a verified link in your Mastodon's profile 🤯
I'm having an issue getting one of the links in "Extra fields" in my Mastodon bio to be "verified" (in green text with a checkmark beside it). I have successfully done this with other links to my website but for some reason I can't seem to make the Project Hawk link be verified here, no matter how many times I edit it on my webpage (visual or code editor on wordpress, as are my other links). Link works just won't "verify". Any suggestions?
I have two, one created by entering a URL in Extra Fields (GitHub), and one created by using the manual method given at
Public Profile --> Verification
for my domain name
After some success and some failure, it seems this second method works only on web sites where one has direct read-write access to the html itself
But...
That said, my photo store at SmugMug (where I do have read-write control) strips out the 'rel=me' and leave the skeleton of the tag, so Verification won't work there
So although this method works, it only works where "it depends..."
Some fediverse platforms* let you add links to your profile in dedicated fields, and also verify them. Do you have/use this feature?
* eg: Mastodon: https://docs.joinmastodon.org/user/profile/#verification
and Friendica: https://wiki.friendi.ca/docs/verify_homepage

@j00bar and GitHub are working on adding extra places for social links on your profile too, including Mastodon.
