Open post Emmy Parpi @parpinet@mastodon.social · 47mo ago Replying to @sheenaghpugh@mastodon.scot @theruss@mstdn.social Have to say, I read the instructions and was totally baffled. I don't get what "rel=me attribute" means, and "Since 4.0: the hostname does not change after IDN normalization" is Greek to me! I just couldn't work out what to do, so have done nothing. Mastodon does assume folk know more about tech stuff than most of us do. @sheenaghpugh@mastodon.scot @theruss@mstdn.social I can try to help you if you want.
