 Making the `.profile` repository private will hide the Profile README.
+
+Rather than supporting multiple social links on the profile card, under the user
+avatar, such links - including
+[`rel=me`](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Attributes/rel/me)
+attributes - can be placed in the `.profile` readme instead. This gives a user a
+lot of flexibility on how they wish to display these links. To add a `rel=me`
+attribute, the link should be written in HTML, rather than in Markdown format,
+for example: `<a rel="me"
+href="https://social.example.com/@username">Fediverse</a>`.
