Works in the official Mastodon Android app. Very nice.

@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.

@stefan Nice feature but I am somewhat confused: https://blog.joinmastodon.org/2024/07/highlighting-journalism-on-mastodon/ mentions "<meta name="fediverse:creator" content="@Gargron" />" but https://joinmastodon.notion.site/New-fediverse-creator-tag-075af42913394754b515ebcaa3c56371 mentions something slightly different: "<meta property="fediverse:creator" content="username@domain" />". I can only assume both work?
Also, looking at the W3C specs for the HTML meta tag (https://www.w3schools.com/tags/tag_meta.asp) the trailing slash is clearly omitted, so the examples provided are not in line with HTML specs.

@foxy @vmstan I was referring to the original announcement of this feature:
"the feature will only show up for links to moderator-approved websites"
Highlighting journalism on Mastodon
Today we're launching a new feature that will highlight writers and journalists that are active on the fediverse when their articles are being shared.
Mastodon Blog (blog.joinmastodon.org)
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 @stefan @vmstan
nice, thanks. So is it like, you just add the website's domain to one of your 4 custom fields? Or nightly has a completely new section in the settings? -

@foxy @andypiper @vmstan There's a new setting in the latest beta version, on the settings/verification page.
Here's what it looks like: https://stefanbohacek.online/@stefan/113153779541654964
