Description

I saw some days ago that nextcloud has a profile page and that you can display different social media and contact information there. That is great! I have a super small enhancement request. Mastodon has a verification process, where when you link a page to your profile it searches for the mastodon profile url on that page. If it finds the link there it displays the page as verified. More information on that here: https://joinmastodon.org/en/verification

With the nextcloud profile that doesn't work yet. The missing piece is rel="me" in the a-tag. If you would add that the page should be displayed as verified in mastodon.

Contributor guide

Research direction
The issue requests adding `rel="me"` to the anchor tag for social media links on the Nextcloud profile page to enable Mastodon verification. The change is likely in a template file, such as those in the 'core' or 'apps/profiles' directory. Look for existing HTML templates that render profile links and add the 'rel="me"' attribute to the appropriate anchor tag. No maintainer clarification is needed; the implementation is straightforward.
