Scott Hanselman ✅👸🏽🐝🌮Some Mastodon tips for someone with ONE DAY'S EXPERIENCE. Turn on the Advanced Web Interface - it's like tweetdeck. Make Columns. Verify yourself with links in your sites and rel="me". Consider your sounds/notifications for sanity. Go to https://fedifinder.glitch.me or https://twitodon.com and get an export of who you follow on twitter and import it here to follow the same folks. Turn off sounds. Note that Bridges exist to Twitter for your favs.
Michael Welch@shanselman I tried a few years ago to set up links and never understood how to do it. I see you have it working. Are there decent instructions now. I take it you add a link to your domain in your profile and then ???? Do Something on your domain.
@shanselman ok. Looked at your website and see your link back to mastodon. So I got that part. So then you just had a link to your site from your bio?
@shanselman never mind. Think I figured it out. Will wait a bit to see if it worked.
@shanselman oh now it makes sense. The green checkmark is fake. But I can see my blog link is now green/verified. Was expecting a green checkmark. No wonder I couldn’t get it to work 3 years ago. Thanks for serving as an example. 😀
@mgwelch note that I am seeing blue verified checkmarks on other servers but they are just custom emoji on that instance. This instance doesn’t support that emoji.
@shanselman got it. Now I know I need to check the about box to see verified sites. And I need to use the web client. The iOS app I have doesnt distinguish verified sites.
@mgwelch ya they just hired a new iOS developer. This is early days
