<span class="h-card"><a class="u-url mention" data-user="A4jKa9Q2dIr3nGJlJY" href="https://vis.social/@darth_mall" rel="ugc">@<span>darth_mall</span></a></span> Interesting, did you use Bridgy to convert Mastodon posts into webmentions? Many sites seem to use it, but it of course only scans your own Twitter/Masto feed. IMO, this renders it a bit useless unless you&#39;re very popular (😰). Anyone you don&#39;t know could talk about a post on your site, but it won&#39;t be received since these systems do not push webmentions themselves. Furthermore, I do not see anyone manually posting a link at the end of a post - that kind of defeats the purpose. <br>That said, is it working for you?
