Give readers a clear way to follow.

Create a small Follow section that works for readers using different Fediverse apps.

1. 01

   Use the complete address

   Copy your full handle, including both the username and server. A display name alone is not enough to identify you across independently run services.

2. 02

   Show a profile link and the handle

   Make the public profile URL clickable, and print the handle as text. A reader should be able to copy the address even if their app does not recognize a special follow link.

3. 03

   Explain the one extra step

   Tell readers to paste the full handle into the search field of their own Fediverse app, open the matching profile, and follow. Avoid implying that visiting a profile automatically follows it.

4. 04

   Test your own instructions

   Try the flow from a signed-in account on another server. On mobile, check that the link and handle remain easy to use. Use the Follow link builder to prepare HTML or plain text for your page.
