What is “it”? Webmentions? Webmentions can be sent from anywhere, not just places you’re actively monitoring. They can be used for example to create a comments section on your blog which amalgamates comments from various syndication points.
That is, you post to your blog, you post a link to your blog post to twitter/Facebook/lemmy etc, and comments or replies from any of those can show up on your blog itself if you so choose.
Alright, that’s pretty cool, sorry – I thought it was a list of links automatically inserted in lieu of comments.
I’ve been trying to get into the IndieWeb for years, but I’ve been struggling to implement it. Doesn’t it rely on a central server too? Can we use it in a fully e.g. decentralized or federated way – would it even make sense, or could we easily switch to another flagship server, as we did with the Freenode takeover?
Please feel no pressure to reply, I can do my own research ^_^
Hi, does it have any advantage over greping your RSS feeds for your blog’s URL?
