Hi, the GitHub issue mentioned to start a discussion here instead.
I think there are two options:
- anytime someone reacts to a Dev.to post, send an official webmention to the webmention api.
-or-
- document the api so a service like Bridgy can pick them up. I'm not an expert, but that was the starting point when I tried to get them in 2019. More here: https://github.com/snarfed/bridgy/issues/874
I'm new to Forem so feel free to provide feedback on which tags I should use here, etc.

I think there are a bunch of cool ways webmentions could be integrated!
One place to start might be like lobste.rs, sending outgoing webmentions where possible. Notifying people when their content is being discussed on a Forem instance seems cool
Ahh, whoops, looks like the discussion has definitely moved past this -- just catching up with the Github reading. Anyway, I'm just weighing in with enthusiasm as a webmention-enabled website-owner who would definitely like to syndicate some stuff this way if this gets going. :)
Is this something the devs are interested in supporting? Something I can help with? I recently implemented receiving webmentions from mastodon on my blog, and I'd love to slurp up all those old likes and comments from dev.to posts to their canonical urls
Again there's already some helpful information in the GitHub issue, but I think the features I would like to see the most would be:
As someone who has implemented Webmentions on their site, I would love to have Forem support these kinds of interactions.
