Anyone familiar with the way Mastodon handles verifying URLs? At the Washington Post we're working on adding verified rel="me" and Mastodon links in our author profiles, but we're seeing mixed results on verification actually going through. It seems non-deterministic(?)

@dylan (me): works
@jeremybmerrill: does not work even though he's on the same server as me
@zubakskees : works
(+ more)

The author pages on the Post are identical in terms of linking back to Mastodon. #mastodon

@dylan @jeremybmerrill @zubakskees Dumb question maybe, but has everyone deleted and re-added the links in their profiles? That triggers the verification more quickly.
@dkiesow @jeremybmerrill @zubakskees Yep, we all did that. For me, it verified pretty immediately. Others had less luck
