Bloggers / newsletter writers take note: in the new Mastodon 4.3 release, if you go to settings > verification, you can now turn on "Author attribution". So when someone posts a link to Cybercultural, I think they now see my Mastodon profile alongside the link. Very cool.
UPDATE: just so everyone is clear, you also need to you need to add a meta tag to your site, like <meta name="fediverse:creator" content="[your mastodon handle]" />. This goes between <head> tags.

@shadowwwind @gisiger @Gargron one question: if I add thenewstack.io (my employer) will that add my name to just posts I have authored? There are a bunch of writers on the site.

@ricmac @shadowwwind @gisiger This will unlock it just for your account, yes. Other writers will have to do the same.

@Gargron @ricmac @shadowwwind @gisiger
I'm a bit confused based on your replies here...it sounds like people *need* to add domains for it to work, not to just limit it as the page says
-
@ThePlant @ricmac @shadowwwind @gisiger That's right.

@Gargron @ThePlant @shadowwwind @gisiger One thing that is obvious once I thought about it and looked at the July post, but perhaps could be clarified in the instructions: you need to add a meta tag to your site, like <meta name="fediverse:creator" content="[your mastodon handle]" />

@Gargron @ThePlant @shadowwwind @gisiger I added the meta tag, but used <meta property=“fediverse:creator” …> to match my 11ty code. I believe that should also work (and also I checked @zachleat’s code and that’s what he has). I haven’t yet seen my name show up with links here on Mastodon, so not sure if I’m doing it right or it just takes a while to get started…
