@feditips @petrescatraian I think I got it now.
The only thing I still don't understand is, why the link to my MakerTube doesn't show up in green on my profile.
I have read that I have to put a link back to my Mastodon on the page I am linking to, and I did that. But it still doesn't show up in green.

The link back by itself isn't enough, the site you're linking to needs a specific kind of link which includes a piece of HTML code called rel="me".
PeerTube doesn't currently include this, but I've posted your request in the relevant issue on the PeerTube github:

@feditips @petrescatraian I know, I put this on my channel page: "a rel="me" href="https://social.anoxinon.de/@stefanie">Mastodon</a". Removed the leading and trailing <> to not confuse the browser for the message

Ah ok!
I wonder if the problem is PeerTube using javascript? According to the post in that issue, Mastodon doesn't render javascript when checking verification links.

@feditips @petrescatraian Yeah, I just inspected the source, and it turns my links into this:

Okay, that's the issue then. Either PeerTube needs to change how it displays links on profiles, or Mastodon has to change how it handles verification...

@feditips Exactly. I have tried the profile description as well, but that also gets clobbered.
So I'll just have to wait for the devs to fix it somehow.
Föderation EN Di 03.10.2023 17:03:51
Yeah, all I can suggest is letting them know it's a problem via the github. Sorry!

@feditips Thanks a lot for your help.
I am not terribly worried about it, just wondering why it didn't work.
Pretty sure the PeerTube devs have a lot of work, so i'll just patiently wait until they get to this.
