If anyone shares a link to my website on here, there will automatically be a smaller link to my account below the website link's preview (see the screenshot below for an example of this in action).

If you would like this to happen when people share links to your website, there's a guide to how to activate this feature here:

This can also be used to show accounts of people who have written articles for your site.

@FediTips I was wondering about this since I was seeing this a bit around. Hopefully I can get it integrated into WordPress but god knows whether I can.

I need for Sharkey to support it ideally
😭 (nvm it does)

@experiencer

It should work on any platform that allows you to insert custom HTML in the website's header.

@FediTips yeah, I had to get a plugin just to get account verification working in the header though 😭

@experiencer

Is there an option for editing the page's code? That should let you do it without plugins?

@FediTips What is the actual HTML code? i don't see it in the article?

@OliviaVespera

The HTML code is different for each account, if you follow the instructions in the article you'll see your HTML code in the settings for this feature.

EDIT: I've updated the article to make this clearer, thanks for the feedback 🙏
