@dec23k @atomicpoet @kraft @fediversenews I didn't look into it too deeply, but yeah it's a simple matter to verify your site.

I was posting mainly because of the Mastodon recognition.

Seriously?

Is there some SEO magic that Yoast Premium does, beyond a "rel=me" link, that makes it worth installing a paid plugin?

I mean SEO magic that's specific to Mastodon, not the SEO stuff that every WP plugin for SEO is already doing.

@dec23k @atomicpoet @kraft I'm not sure if you're responding to me, but no... no magic going on here.

And no for the paid plugin thing as well. Not worth it.

You can place an HTML widget in your footer with the rel="me" attribute and you're good to go.

I'm just responding to the general notion that this very simple problem needs *a premium plugin* to solve it.

@the_Effekt @atomicpoet @kraft
I would expect that the WordPress core already has the ability to implement "rel=me" links.

My profile's "rel=me" link is currently on @spacehey and It Just Worked. No subscription needed.

Most of my other social platforms (Fedi or not) can do the same. The "rel=me" link attribute is nothing new.

But it's great news that a big-shot well-known commercial plugin for WP is acknowledging Mastodon :-\
