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. :)
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.
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
