Friendica not included for Rel=Me

[genius6]

LinkStack version

4.8.6

Description

Currently, it seems that only Mastodon, Firefish and Streams are configured to allow Rel=Me links. However, Friendica does support this feature, and would benefit from being added to the list.

Details about your system

System is irrelevant for this entry

How to reproduce

1. Add a Friendica link on your LinkStack page
2. On your Friendica instance, add your LinkStack page as your Homepage
3. See that Friendica can't verify the LinkStack page since the Rel="Me" component on the link is missing

Possible Solution

In meta.blade.php, change the following:
$relMe = "mastodon, firefish, streams";
for
$relMe = "mastodon, firefish, streams, friendica";

Additional Context

I am not sure if the best solution would be to simply add Friendica, or make it a parameter somehow? I am guessing other platforms could support it as well...

Thank you!

Have we implemented friendica as a predefined button?

If yes:

Possible Solution

In meta.blade.php, change the following:
$relMe = "mastodon, firefish, streams";
for
$relMe = "mastodon, firefish, streams, friendica";

This is the intended implementation. Any link with a matching identifier in the $relMe array, is added to the users page.

We had a concept for this, to be expandable in the config, I'm not sure how far that idea got.

---

In short: this is the way to do it, with basically no risk of things breaking.

Adding this to the meta module will implement this for all users with this button type.

If someone would like to make a pull request for this, I'll include this in the next release. (Just that one file, one line, very simple)

We have to rely on our community a bit to expand this feature, we're not keeping track of sites that support this feature necessarily.

If somethings missing here let us know.

---

If a site can't validate the meta link, we may have to issue an additional patch.
If you don't compress your request HTML some systems may be unable to parse the HTML, due to a character limit or timeout.

We include a lot of assets inline in order to optimize first page loads.

@modriscolluk if you want to take a shot at this, it's basically plain text, one line in here: https://github.com/LinkStackOrg/LinkStack/blob/main/resources/views/linkstack/modules/meta.blade.php#L5

Works on main and beta. We can merge this immediately after the PR is reviewed

• Needs documentation!
• Ideal for Block System support.
