Does it take a while for the little verification check marks to show up next to your website on your profile? Can’t tell if I did something wrong here, since I added rel=”me” links to ganssle.io and blog.ganssle.io, but my profile doesn’t have the check marks.
I thought maybe my instance doesn’t do it, but I found @true_mxp’s profile and that seems to have one via the same process…
@pganssle you might have to save your profile after adding the links to the sites
@Natris1979 Ah that did it! Thanks!
@pganssle @Natris1979
I’ll ping someone in our matrix chat about this. You’re welcome to join.
@lucifargundam @pganssle seems reasonable to me that it would work that way. Not sure what there is to discuss
@Natris1979 @pganssle
further clarity/elaboration of the process per this instance. verification of procedure, etc.
@pganssle sure! On further thought it kinda has to be that way. Otherwise the mastodon server would have to be constantly polling every unverified link just to make sure no one had added a link back to their profile
@pganssle it’s just one of the two hardest problems of programming
@hynek @pganssle in case you haven't seen it, this is a nice post from @simon on how you can add a verified link to your GitHub account:

@pganssle @true_mxp it was pretty immediate when I did it, albeit on a different instance.
