How to verify a github link for my mastodon profile?
I included a link to my github profile in my mastodon profile. How can I verify the link?
I've already tried
- adding a link to mastodon in the social accounts fields on my github profile
- adding
<a rel="me" href="https://<name of instance>/@<username>">Mastodon</a>to the markdown readme of my github profile

The trick is to put the link to your mastodon profile in the website field on github, not the social media field.
Steps:
- Add the link to your mastodon profile in the website field on github:
-
go back to mastodon, edit your profile to include a link to your github profile. Mastodon should now be able to verify it and show it with a green background in your profile
-
(optionally) go back to your github profile and move the mastodon link from the website field to one of the fields for "social accounts".
