Mastodon recently added the ability to natively add author labels to links on Mastodon. Basically, when a link is posted, you can have your Mastodon account automatically tagged so people can more easily find you.

I would have written up an explainer on how to do it, but [Robb Knight has already done it](https://rknight.me/blog/setting-up-mastodon-author-tags/?ref=birchtree.me) so I’ll just send you over there.
