I have a new mastodon account – sort of

The microblogging service that I use, micro.blog, has enabled Mastodon compatible usernames. What does this mean? Well I don’t know completely. As I’ve demonstrated before, I haven’t completely figured out ActivityPub, or IndieWeb, or Federated Fediverse – but I’m trying 😀

Anyway, my username for Micro.blog is @andyrush@micro.blog

Mastodon and ActivityPub – Developers – Micro.blog Help Center:

We’ve enabled a Mastodon-compatible username for your Micro.blog account. This means that you can follow anyone on Mastodon from within Micro.blog, and anyone on Mastodon can follow your blog.

Mastodon WordPress Site Verification

UPDATE – So it looks like a big nevermind! After all was said about this plugin adding the “rel=me” stuff, I regret to say I see no evidence of it. I’ll keep diving/swimming…

A problem that has been vexing me for a while is getting a WordPress “blog” as a verified link in my Mastodon profile. Today I finally took a little deeper dive in my still shallow pool of Mastodon/Federated/IndieWeb knowledge and understanding.

Installing the WordPress IndieWeb plugin automagically added the “rel=me” to my Microblog site link so that I could add it to the list of verified sites in my profile. Previous to this, trying to add the rel=me to the main page through widgets and menus had failed.

Hat tip to Tantek for the push to dive deeper into #RelMeAuth. Hope this helps others who are trying to do the same.
