Woah - German government has got its own Mastodon instance and most of the ministries and many agencies already have accounts.
Verification problem at least partially solved - just need to check the domain is right!
I've also seen newspapers like theatlantic.com set up instances themselves. Looks like verification will be worked out sooner or later.

Unfortunately I mistook fedifinder's output of @theatlantic.com to mean they have an instance. I don't think they have one (yet) unfortunately but this is only a question of time I hope.

@corneliusroemer there should be an Edit option from the three-dot menu

(edit) this is on the website, so it might not be available on whatever app you're using

@thatdosbox Hmm, I don't have this option on mastodon v3.5.3
This may come with v4? I think you're getting v4rc2 or something on your instance. Oh well, it'll come at some point.

@corneliusroemer v4 is currently in beta testing - I have been told to expect it to be rolled out further in late November (or possibly early December given how busy admins are at the moment)
