Profiles
Social accounts
Section titled “Social accounts”Users and organizations can link their accounts on Mastodon, Bluesky and Matrix. Arbinel shows each linked account with its icon on the profile, next to the website.
To link your accounts, open Settings → Profile and fill in Social accounts. Organization owners use Settings in the organization, under the avatar. Select Update social accounts to save the form.
Each field takes a handle or the link to the profile:
| Network | Handle | Link |
|---|---|---|
| Mastodon | @alice@mastodon.social |
https://mastodon.social/@alice |
| Bluesky | @alice.bsky.social or a DID such as did:plc:... |
https://bsky.app/profile/alice.bsky.social |
| Matrix | @alice:matrix.org |
https://matrix.to/#/@alice:matrix.org |
Arbinel stores the handle and builds the link from it.
A Bluesky name without a dot, such as alice, becomes alice.bsky.social.
The Mastodon field takes an account on any fediverse server that serves profiles at https://<server>/@<name>.
Leave a field empty to remove that account. If one field is not valid, Arbinel shows an error and saves none of the fields.
Verify the link on Mastodon
Section titled “Verify the link on Mastodon”The link to your Mastodon account carries rel="me".
Add the address of your Arbinel profile, such as https://codefloe.com/alice, to the profile metadata of your Mastodon account.
Mastodon then marks that link as verified.
The profile must be public, so that the Mastodon server can read it.
