 I really like this idea of highlighting the Mastodon account of the author of an article. It's declared in HTML. I put it on my site. I suppose it will be up to clients to show it, assuming it makes it way to appropriate APIs or whatever. ``` (via @matthiasott —https://matthiasott.com/notes/highlighting-blogging-on-mastodon) 6 comments
 @thisismissem @chriscoyier @matthiasott yeah, the limitation only to certain domains really breaks the utility. At the very least it should allow TLD matching; eg my blog posts from lu.is should allow me to specify a fedi account at lu.is as an author.  @luis_in_brief @chriscoyier @matthiasott it's like this to prevent abuse, e.g., false attribution on links But also it's more designed for multi-author sites not personal blogs where you can just have a "follow me" button, e.g., more geared toward news websites @chriscoyier @matthiasott what the #fediverse really needs is a way for the user of a browser to indicate to all mastodon instances which account is their primary, so that things like "follow", "favorite" and "reblog" buttons can work without you having to type in the name of your host each time. I think it should be a Web API; like the "UserSocials API" or something.  |

@chriscoyier @matthiasott it's in the APIs already for 4.3, but I think documentation is still fourth coming
Keep in mind it requires the domain to be marked as allowed for trending for it to show up (such that it can't be abused)
