Regarding the Fediverse, it's great that I can follow a bookwyrm account from mastodon. Does anyone know if there is a way of technically defining that a bookwyrm account is mine?

@lucifargundam Not verification. Just so that it can literally say, "this mastodon user said this on bookwyrm, or on peertube," etc. Verification as already here via, eg, website verification

@worldsendless
So like a confirmation at the end of each post that says it was posted on another server?

@lucifargundam I imagine so that posting elsewhere can cross-post to Mastodon as one of my accounts, rather than being a different account that I follow with my account and boost the results just as if they were someone else

@lucifargundam I followed those links, but I don't think I understand what you mean. Unless you mean that they have an account that is also aggregating their content; I suppose so. Maybe what I should have done is try in create a bookwyrm account USING one of my other accounts

@worldsendless
The hacker news website has a few unofficial bots on Fendi that automatically post content from the site.

I could have sworn a few people I followed had accounts that would repost content they posted on other Fedi servers...
