This post is a short, easy-to-skim guide for anyone who wants to add fediverse creator attribution to their site, at least until official documentation becomes available.
- On your post page, add the following tag:
<meta name="fediverse:creator" content="@USERNAME@DOMAIN>. Post your complete username here (e.g.,@sense@mastodon.social). - Go to your verification page and add your site domain there (e.g.,
sgade.de). - Always test with a “fresh” link, since the server and clients will cache links that have been posted in recent weeks.
I initially overlooked the verification page and later got tripped up by server-side caching. Hopefully, this guide helped you avoid those pitfalls and add the feature to your site quickly.
