I added support for the new fediverse:creator OpenGraph tag to my blog. So links to my articles should link to my fediverse account now, at the very least in Mastodon 4.3 and higher.

Just trying it out: https://palant.info/2024/07/15/how-insecure-is-avast-secure-browser/
Edit: Ok, it isn’t showing and I’m not sure why.
Edit3: Well, https://blog.joinmastodon.org/2024/07/highlighting-journalism-on-mastodon/ says that this feature currently requires manual approval by the admin. Let’s hope this restriction will be lifted soon.

@vmstan @WPalant It doesn't show up as pending approval in the trends section. When I look at this: https://blog.joinmastodon.org/2024/07/highlighting-journalism-on-mastodon/ it appears that the purpose is to associate an account with a domain so that when someone posts a link to the wpalant.info blog, there's a link underneath the preview card that says something like "see more from @WPalant
I don't know if there's an interface yet to approve these???

@jerry no interface, you need to do it with the console.
But we will add a way for users to list the domains they want to allow for this feature, using the approved trending domains for this is temporary and was done to launch the feature quicker (and get adoption in « big » publications)
@vmstan @WPalant -
@renchap Would you mind sharing more details on how to do this?
I looked at the tootctl documentation and can't really find it. Unless this is perhaps not documented?
-
@stefan This is not documented, you need to go through the Ruby console and change the database.
But we merged https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/pull/31819 today, which allows every user to list the domains they want to allow for attribution, which removed the need to mess with trending domains -
@renchap Ah, okay, got it. And yep, saw that, I just figured it would be easier to use tootctl, but since that's not an option, I will look into pulling the latest changes.
Thank you!
