I am considering to add a plug-in comment system to my website supporting ActivityPub and/or Webmention
#

and lingering in a rather silly question: Where in the page space to put comments
#
[tantek]
What is comments display?
#
Loqi
Comments are displayed in the context of an original post, and may be a mix of syndicated reply posts from other sites received via Webmention, as well as locally created comments https://indieweb.org/comments-display

Just caught up with Paul's new year framing and it's pretty good https://www.pfrazee.com/blog/atmospheric-computing

Anyone on here able to help me figure out how to send a certain webmention? Normally when I check a page's source code I can find a webmention.io link or a wordpress link that can be loaded as a normal webpage with a form, but this one doesn't seem to operate that way.
#

first Link header or a/link element with [rel~=webmention] (in css terms)
#
ulhar4409
the endpoint may or may not be usable as a form
#
osteophage
As I said, what I found in the header is this: https://www.citationneeded.news/webmentions/receive/
#
osteophage
Since this doesn't do anything as a webpage, is there another way to send something?
#
ulhar4409
try POSTing to it with source and target parameters
#
osteophage
I'd like to try that, but unfortunately I will need some more explanation. How do I do that?
#
ulhar4409
there are many options for this but if you're on desktop your browser's devtools probably have a Network tab that will let you send one
#
ulhar4409
there might be some website that acts as a universal webmention sending tool but i don't remember off the top of my head
#

what is webmention
#
Loqi
Webmention is an open web standard (W3C Recommendation) for conversations and interactions across the web, a powerful building block used for a growing distributed network of peer-to-peer comments, likes, reposts, and other responses across the web https://indieweb.org/webmention
#

Earlier I did try webmention.app, but unfortunately that didn't detect this one. Thanks for the tips, though. For reference, I'm using Waterfox, so I'll try looking up information on how to pull up the Network tab on Firefox.
#
osteophage
It worked! Thank you!
#

http://Webmention.app is pretty picky about what it sends mentions for.

I finally wrote a blog post that documents how to turn a list of anything (not necessarily a list of blog posts) into a web feed with h-feed: https://jamesg.blog/2026/01/03/turn-a-list-into-a-web-feed
