To *actually* verify your Mastodon account, link to your personal site in your profile and set a rel="me" header on that target page. https://docs.joinmastodon.org/user/profile/#verification

Hi,

Inserting the code under my metatags headers on my html page. Do I replace "me" with other text or just insert code as is? Thanks! I'm new here and haven't coded in awhile.

@LesLenProd rel="me" should be exactly that, and the link href should be your profile. So the full tag would be:

<link rel="me" href="https://mastodon.online/@LesLenProd" />

Thanks! I realized that after posting. Was having a "senior moment." Lol! The server is performing slowly on my end, so probably why I didn''t see my verification yet. I inserted the code properly. This server keeps crashing and is very slow to access. I suspect because so many folks are coming over from the Twit platform. Thanks again!

@LesLenProd Yeah, I have a feeling a lot of the big servers are feeling this pressure today 😬
