You can directly follow your blog on mastodon! You can find the [username@domain.tld](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/server-settings-grayed-out/username@domain.tld?output_format=md) on your author-edit page under fediverse. * Thread Starter [dangillmor](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dangillmor/) * (@dangillmor) * [3 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/server-settings-grayed-out/#post-16237608) * Looks like I didn’t (don’t) fully understand how this works, so apologies if I’ve wasted your time. * Can you tell me how I follow the blog on Mastodon, and where my author-edit page would be at the Mastodon instance (if that’s where it is)? * Plugin Author [Matthias Pfefferle](https://wordpress.org/support/users/pfefferle/) * (@pfefferle) * [3 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/server-settings-grayed-out/#post-16237690) * No problem 🙂 * You can find the identifier of your blogs user on the „edit profile“ page of your blog (wp-admin/profile.php) after the headline fediverse. It should look like [username@blogdomain.tld](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/server-settings-grayed-out/username@blogdomain.tld?output_format=md). * Then you can go to your mastodon instance and search for this identifier and it should show up in the results where you can press the follow button. * Thread Starter [dangillmor](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dangillmor/) * (@dangillmor) * [3 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/server-settings-grayed-out/#post-16237778) * Hmmm, it wasn’t located there: “Could not find anything for these search terms” * Plugin Author [Matthias Pfefferle](https://wordpress.org/support/users/pfefferle/) * (@pfefferle) * [3 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/server-settings-grayed-out/#post-16237783) * Can you share your identifier, that I might help with debugging? * Thread Starter [dangillmor](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dangillmor/) * (@dangillmor) * [3 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/server-settings-grayed-out/#post-16239553) * Hmm, is there a way not to make my user login name public? * Plugin Author [Matthias Pfefferle](https://wordpress.org/support/users/pfefferle/) * (@pfefferle) * [3 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/server-settings-grayed-out/#post-16243291) * Not at the moment, but that is in the works! * Thread Starter [dangillmor](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dangillmor/) * (@dangillmor) * [3 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/server-settings-grayed-out/#post-16243475) * I’ll keep an eye out for that.
