You can now add up to 4 links to any social accounts to your user profile, with special support for popular platforms.
It states that it has "special support for popular platforms".
For example, if you register a Twitter URL, the chain icon will replace the Twitter icon.
Specifically, I checked what platforms are supported.
The checking method is simply looking at the HTML source.
If you have any of the following social accounts, I recommend registering them on GitHub (up to 4).
As of 2023-05-06, 9 social accounts seem to be supported.
Added on 2023-10-14: The npm account logo has been added and it seems to be compatible with 10 types of social accounts.
Added on 2025-03-01: The bluesky account logo has been added.
