Mastodon Verification
Fullperm Alpha
Dear Primfeed Team,
I am writing to request a feature for Mastodon profile verification. I have been trying to verify my Primfeed account at https://www.primfeed.com/fullperm.alpha with my Mastodon account at https://mastodon.social/@fullperm, but this is not yet possible.
To enable verification, Mastodon requires a link on the target site to contain a specific HTML attribute: rel= "me". This attribute is a digital handshake that confirms the link's authenticity.
Unfortunately the social media links on Primfeed do not appear to include this required attribute.
I believe that feature would be a valuable addition for the Primfeed community. Many users on Mastodon look for ways to verify their online identities. Making it possible to verify Primfeed accounts would attract new users and enhance trust.
GitHub supports this by automatically adding the necessary rel="me" tag when a Mastodon link is added to a user's social links list.
Is it possible to implement this feature? Thanks a lot in advance :)

As far as I know it doesn't need to be <a href> with "rel" attribute, it may as well be...
<link href="https://mastodonlink/@mastodonaccount" rel="me">
... in the header, as per documentation. This could be useful, since Primfeed is a JS application, and page source before the generation doesn't really exist yet.
