Enable lookup in Mastodon

[cthoyt]

I'm pretty sure the following lines are the ones responsible for the website and links section of the ORCID profile page. It would be great if it could be modified for Mastodon to pick up and properly verify users based on these links. The issue might be the nofollow in the rel.

orcid-angular/src/app/cdk/side-bar/side-bar/side-bar.component.html

Lines 86 to 95 in 17d8f5a

	><a
	tabindex="-1"
	[href]="website.url.value"
	[ngClass]="{
	'orc-font-body-small': getWebsite(website).length > 20
	}"
	target="_blank"
	rel="me nofollow noopener noreferrer"
	>{{ getWebsite(website) }}</a
	>

Mastodon's docs do not require the absence of nofollow: https://docs.joinmastodon.org/user/profile/#verification

I have personally been using me and nofollow together on a website other than ORCID with no problems.

The OP of #6668 already identified the correct problem, as acknowledged by a maintainer:

However, the ORCiD.org website renders these links using Javascript. When the Mastodon crawler looks at the source code for a page, it won't see any rel="me" links and then fails.

I personally think this issue is a duplicate.
