       I've read many requests to add Mastodon links to GitHub profiles for verification and discovery purposes. My team is working on allowing you to add a number of social profile links, but given upcoming holiday vacations, it won't ship until the new year. We don't want to rush something out at the potential cost of disrupting what is generally a quiet time for our engineers.Ordinarily, I wouldn't talk about in progress work on social media, but y'all seem like you can keep a secret.

       @liaizon @pixelfed yes to the first question. No to the second. A full link will render with a generic link icon, like the website does today.

       @liaizon @pixelfed Will investigate the use of the more generic Fediverse icon instead of or in addition to Mastodon specifically.

       You can now add up to four social account links to your GitHub profile which render with a sprinkling of formatting support for our most popular platforms. Yes, the resulting links links will satisfy Mastodon verification requirements when rendered.To get started, visit your profile and click the "Edit profile" button in the sidebar.

       Glad y'all are enjoying this feature. A small number of you are reporting that Mastodon accounts are not being recognized as such in our UI.We make a NodeInfo request to non-obvious hosts to check server metadata. Requests to some hosts are hitting our aggressive timeout. We're working on making this process more resilient.You may have better luck by removing and re-adding the link to re-trigger the check. In any event, links will still function as expected, even for verification.

       @misty Looks like that instance is running `hometown`, which we do not recognize as a mastodon instance. We’ve seen this a couple of times today so that might be something we want to add support for.

       @tallship you can add whatever link you’d like. We may add additional icons over time, based on usage.I’m wondering: does the hostile approach like you’ve taken here ever actually work for you, or nah?#shame

       @misty If you remove and re-add your link, it should now be recognized with a mastodon icon.We will likely reprocess existing links at some point, but want to fix a few more things first.
