Is this a unique feature?

• I have checked "open" AND "closed" issues and this is not a duplicate

Is your feature request related to a problem/unavailable functionality? Please describe.

Title says it all! I'd like to verify my biodrop account on my Mastodon profile, but I see no way to do it right now because I can't add the necessary rel="me" tag to links on my biodrop profile.

Proposed Solution

I have no idea the best way to fix or implement this. Just something I wanted to put out there.

hey @eddiejaoude , Can I work on this issue.
Seems like to get a verification mark on the website link, we have added on our mastodon profile.
We need to do the following.

• I added my mastodon link to my biodrop profile.

• Then I added my biodrop link on mastodon, but it doesn't show verified mark.

@victorchrollo14 how to do you plan to solve it? I have assigned it to you

According to maston's documentation, we need to have the link
<a rel="me" href="https://mastodon.social/@victor142">Mastodon</a> in the biodrop's page.

But in biodrop we are not embedding the user's links directly instead we use the following which takes care of redirecting to the actual url.

href={`${BASE_URL}/api/profiles/${username}/links/${link._id}`}

Solution 1

• Whenever someone adds a maston's link, we embed it directly in the page instead of the normal approach of using a biodrop link that redirects to the actual link.

Solution 2

• Maston's docs say that we can keep the link invisible, but it has to be on the page somewhere.
• So we can go with the normal approach of using links in biodrop.
• along with it, we need to embed the maston's link somewhere else the page, where it is unclickable and invisible to the users.

Are there any other better approaches we can take?
