Testing the fediverse:creator meta tag on my blog.
It works! Even looking at the post via mastodon.social.
This is really neat!
Now I just have to remember all the different domains I've registered.

@vmstan Nice, thank you for confirming!
Definitely much better approach than needing your site to be approved by each server separately. And you have a lot more control as a creator. Brilliant execution.

@foxy @vmstan I was referring to the original announcement of this feature:
"the feature will only show up for links to moderator-approved websites"
https://blog.joinmastodon.org/2024/07/highlighting-journalism-on-mastodon/
If I remember correctly, your site had to first be trending, and from there it had to be approved by a server's moderator. For each server separately.
But with the current system, we all define which sites can list us as authors and this information federates across all servers. Hope this makes sense!

@foxy @vmstan Ah, okay, got it.
It may not be officially documented yet, I've seen it mostly just discussed online.
Tagging @andypiper. (Hope you don't mind!)

@andypiper I was struggling to add attribution to my site, and couldn't find anything more “official" than this thread.
Server- and client-side caching didn’t help either. In the end, I found the domain settings by accident, and now it works.Is there a page that lists all the steps required to make it work more easily?

@sense oh! yikes, this is pretty old and no, I don't think this is documented properly yet.
One challenge is that we don't have an obvious place in the (developer/admin) docs for this to be added; and user-facing support pages are something we hope to work on soon.
All of that is to say - I'm sorry that this was confusing, I'm glad you found the place to configure it in your account settings, and I have now made a formal note that we need to write this up. https://github.com/mastodon/documentation/issues/1847
