Something to consider - on our Discourse instance, we have created a custom field for Mastodon username on the Profile page (see for example my [profile](https://forums.oeru.org/u/mackiwg/summary) on [forums.oeru.org](http://forums.oeru.org)).

This could help OEGlobal Connect users find each other in the Fediverse which can be a challenge.
