Federated Replies and Reactions in Madblog

Engage with the Web from plain text files

@fabio Very cool! This seems like something #11ty could implement, as blog posts are just Markdown files too. I have experimented with Webmentions on my 11ty blog in the past, but I felt it over-complicated my setup at the time, so I ditched it. I love the simplicity of your approach. #Eleventy

@ricmac #Madblog has native support for #Webmentions, and unlike #ActivityPub they’re enabled by default.

I’ve tried to make it as simple as possible and avoid manual callbacks or special tags for mentioned links.

You put a link in an article, and when you save it Webmentions are sent to supported targets. Someone mentions your article from a place that supports Webmentions, and the mention is stored on your blog.
