Added fediverse Author attribution attribute

[MayMeow]

Yesterday Mastodon 4.3.0 was released And, among other features, added the ability to attribute yourself to links from your site.

It adds a small tag (by / more from) - profile link - under all links from allowed domains that the other or you share on Mastodon. For better illustration it looks like:

It can be done by adding new meta tag ediverse:creator to head of your website.

I updated the Head Partial and added new parameters under Verification. (As in Mastodon, this option is under Profile -> Verification -> Author attribution)

@MayMeow can you also add documentation as to how this works? (i.e. what values to edit, how to format the fediverse handle)

Just add that information to the relevant config doc page.

In the docs, instead of Mastodon handle put Fediverse handle and the supported fedi software (if applicable).

Like this one: "The fediverse handle to include in the site metadata. Include the server domain in the username, e.g. @[email protected] This is currently supported on Mastodon." ?

To display this verification, you need to configure your account. From my latest knowledge, this is possible on Mastodon.

To add to it, this verification is then displayed on the web and the official Mastodon application under shared links to your site.

Other apps like Ivory (iOS), Ice Cubes (iOS), or Mona (iOS) also support this.

just replace Mastodon with fediverse, you can link to a profile on any fediverse software even if the link will only show up if your page is shared on Mastodon.

Yeah, like that.
