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

@annika Certainly going to try this. One question though. Where can the verified status be seen? When I check your profile, it doesn't pop up anywhere with some kind of sign?

@rickdus Is it under "About"? I don't recognise your client offhand

I get a small check mark in Tusky, and the official Android app doesn't show it at all 😬

@annika What am I doing wrong here? I even copied the way you add the link at your page (with the rel="me" attribute behind in stead of in front of the url). My verification still doesn't show..

@rickdus Your verification does show up on my server. I would say it's probably just persistent load on mastodon.social that's preventing verification, but only an admin could confirm (and Eugen is pretty preoccupied at the moment).

There's always the option of relocating to another server, but I'm not sure if that's something you're interested in.

@annika Thanks for your reply and tips. I am thinking about moving to another server. I'll check it out this weekend.

@rickdus I hope you get it sorted, one way or the other! You can always try re-saving your profile, which should re-trigger verification. Might be useful if your verification was dropped from the queue.

@annika Put it on another line, and guess what??

@rickdus Yesss! 🎉
