Mastodon: `rel="me"` isn't recognized
Expected behaviour
The link to softwaremaniacs.org on this profile https://mastodon.social/@isagalaev should be highlighted as "verified", as the target document has an <a rel="me"> with the link to the profile.
Actual behaviour
The link is not highlighted.
Steps to reproduce the problem
- Look at the profile page
- Check the source of http://softwaremaniacs.org/
Specifications
Version: v2.6.5
Speculation
With the formalities out of the way, let me point out that the target page relies on the ability of HTML to omit certain opening and closing tags (like <head> and </body>), so it is likely that it fails to parse due to an underlying HTML parser making overly strict assumptions. I may be totally off-base here, but I thought it's worth mentioning.

It works here. Did you update your profile after adding the link on your page?

"Here" where? :-)
Actually, both the link in the profile and the rel="me" were there way before Mastodon got this feature to recognize it. I can re-add link to see what happens or I can leave it like that to preserve the error condition, if that's interesting to you guys.

“Here” is on my local instance, sorry.
Links are only verified after a profile update, so if you didn't modify your profile after Mastodon got this feature, that's why it doesn't show up as verified.

Yep, that fixed it. Thanks!

@pawelngei no, I fixed it by updating the profile following @ThibG suggestion.
