How to verify your OpenStreetMap-account on Mastodon?
ایہہ 9؍November 2024ء English وچ «Pieter Vander Vennet» لیکھ چھپیا گیا سی۔ ایہہ 13؍June 2025ء تے پہلا نواں کرنHey all,
If you want to verify your OSM-account and get that nice badge, this is possible.
UPDATE: since june (or was it may?) 2025, the OSM website introduced “social links” in the user profile. You can link your mastodon account in there and save. (*)
Then, on your Mastodon-account, go to Preferences > Public Profile. Under ‘extra fields’, set ‘OpenStreetMap’ to the left and a link to your account to the right.
(*): Previously, one had to add a html-link with rel="me" attribute into the user profile.

Where to place the link to Mastodon in the second sentence?

@Doofus Magoo: I was a bit distracted while writing this; I’ve updated the second sentence and it should be clear now.

Thank you! In the very last sentence, I’m putting in Mastodon a link to my OSM account, yes?
So put a link to Mastodon in OSM, and a link to OSM in Mastodon – I think I got it! Thank you!

Yup, it worked. I can see your green checkmark, you are verified on Mastodon.
If you make an edit with https://mapcomplete.org, then https://en.osm.town/@mapcomplete_edits will tag you ;)

Sorry, I’m missing something: in osm the profile text is markdown formatted; if I write the html style tag you suggested, it doesn’t appear as a link kn my profile, but as a text. What am I doing wrong?

Nevermind, I missed an apostrophe character! 😅

Your profile on OSM has a correct link. Your mastodon profile is linked correctly to. To force Mastodon to validate again, change something about your fields in Mastodon and you’ll get your green checkmark too.

Jup, I see the checkmark on your profile too now!
Yeah, I read the Weekly too and saw that they mentioned this.
