Going through my bookmarked items in Raindrop and discovered this post by Scott Hanselman about making yourself discoverable on Mastodon using WebFinger. Now if you search for @ANYONE@christopherhimes.com in Mastodon my profile will appear.
This is accomplished by adding the following at /.well-known/webfinger
{
"subject": "acct:eeentropyyy@hachyderm.io",
"aliases": [
"https://hachyderm.io/@eeentropyyy",
"https://hachyderm.io/users/eeentropyyy"
],
"links": [
{
"rel": "http://webfinger.net/rel/profile-page",
"type": "text/html",
"href": "https://hachyderm.io/@eeentropyyy"
},
{
"rel": "self",
"type": "application/activity+json",
"href": "https://hachyderm.io/users/eeentropyyy"
},
{
"rel": "http://ostatus.org/schema/1.0/subscribe",
"template": "https://hachyderm.io/authorize_interaction?uri={uri}"
}
]
}To get this folder to show up in the site folder for this jekyll site I had to add the /.well-known folder to the include.
You can search for me now using anything before @christopherhimes.com which looks like @ANYONE@christopherhimes.com where ANYONE is replaced with whatever you want. I can also be tagged the same way with @ANYONE@christopherhimes.com getting @eeentropyyy swapped in after posting.
Here is an example post I made testing it out.
