  I had read about IndieWeb, webmentions, and Fediverse a few years ago and was very excited about it! It's a monumental under taking and a great example of good (read: ethical) tech.

  I haven't written a full tutorial on this yet, but I integrated webmentions using webmention.io. The system fetches mentions during build time and displays them alongside comments. You can see this at the bottom of every post! Each webmention shows:

  Three years ago, I not only introduced Webmentions on this blog and wrote about them here and here, but I also started systematically recording my manual syndications on other platforms and displaying them under the post. I syndicate text posts on Mastodon and, if the content is suitable, on DEV and photos on Pixelfed, Flickr and a few other (unfortunately) closed platforms. I collected all Webmentions and interactions from Mastodon and Flickr using a combination of Aaron Parecki's webmention.io and Ryan Barrett's brid.gy and brought them to the post page using a client-side JavaScript.

• Exploit the feedback potential with syndication links

  I myself place the links to the syndications under every article, every note and every photo, even if this means a bit more work after publication because I have to write the links manually in the frontmatter of the post. But for my readers, a reaction is usually just a click away, because I see a post on my website as the starting point for communication. I don't just write for myself, but also for you and it's nice to see when a post elicits a positive reaction or even criticism and perhaps a conversation develops from it, which helps me to make progress. That's why I consider the reactions as part of the post and, like some of my favourite bloggers, display them below the text. Tools for this are bridgy and webmention.io, at least for the Mastodon syndications. Other platforms do not yet offer Webmention support or even an interface to retrieve the reactions, but in the future I would like to connect at least those that do.

  Webmentions (webmention.io) are a way to bring social activity and interactivity to your site without having it on your platform itself or needing to have complex systems in place. Harness the activity, audience, and functionality from existing platforms.
