I feel like I’m always poking journalists and other public figures to get verified on Mastodon… part of this is a lack of knowledge around the topic and the fact that joinmastodon.org kind of buries the details of “how” in the docs.

So, I’ve written up my own how and why:

Feel free to share! Hopefully it adds to the collective knowledge and helps get more folks verified here.

This is a really nice touch recently added to Mastodon: when you search for profiles, it now shows you if they've completed link verification for a domain.

All the more reason for folks who want to verify their identity on Mastodon to do so. See https://docs.joinmastodon.org/user/profile/#verification for docs.

Mastodon allows you to verify yourself as the owner of your website. If your website is well-known, then this will in effect verify your identity as well.

Here's how to verify you are the owner of a website:
