Firefish does not operate a 'verified' account scheme like some of the commercial social services. However, there is the ability for you to link a website you own/operate to your Firefish account. Visitors to either your website, or your profile, can see the two are linked. This is especially useful for people in the public-eye as a way to prove that their Firefish account is genuine. That said, anyone can link their account to their own website to prove ownership.

Version This only works on Firefish V1.0 and above. Any version of the previous brand, Calckey, does not support Verified Profiles.

You will need to have a basic understanding of HTML web-page coding to achieve this. Or ask someone to help.

Let's assume your Firefish account is @joe@firefish.zone. Your profile web address is therefore https://firefish.zone/@joe

Go to your website and edit a page to include a link back to your Firefish account. This link can be on text, or graphics. The important element is that it is a link. We will keep it simple for now. On the website let's have it say "Find me on the Fediverse: @joe@firefish.zone".

The code:

Find me on the Fediverse: <a href="https://firefish.zone/@joe" rel="me">@joe@firefish.zone</a>

Info The important part is the rel=“me”

Once saved, and live on your website, go back into your profile on Firefish and Edit it. (Settings, Profile).

Scroll down; look for “Additional Information” 1 and click to expand

Now enter a description for your website and a link to the web page you edited.

In the above example, we have set the description to My Blog and the web address to https://joe.blog

Now Click Save, just below.

If you have done everything correctly, when someone views your profile in Firefish it will look something like this:

The blue tick 1 is attesting to the viewer that the website and this profile are linked.
