@stux omg this is like meeting the restaurant’s owner at your table

@joshhelfferich Is that a feature exclusive to your instance? I assume that type of thing is on a per-instance level

@_Jordan Huh, good question! I’m honestly not sure. Can you see a verified check next to my name?
Show threadJordan KayNov 9, 2022
@joshhelfferich I can, even though I’m on a different instance. But to be honest, haven’t seen anyone on https://mastodon.social with it

@_Jordan @joshhelfferich I tried, but it doesn't work on .social

@joshhelfferich it uh, doesn’t feel like it’s working for me. Is my server just not having it? Am I using the wrong app? Oh no, imposter syndrome is setting in.

@megamatt Might be just a local thing! Or it could be the app too. Hard to tell, lol

@joshhelfferich Huh, just tried, didn’t work. Must not work with all servers

@christyxcore @joshhelfferich special emoji outside the standard set are server specific. My instance doesn’t have the check mark either. Hence why I did the standard green one. LOL

The true way to verify is placing a small piece of html on your site and linking to that page in your profile. You’ll see my link is verified.

Hope that helps.
