Added a new page to show incoming webmentions to your blog. You can find it under Account, near the Replies section. Not all webmentions make their way into actual replies in the timeline (if they’re missing the reply markup), so this can be useful to see who is linking to you.

@news This is great, thanks. But I pick this up to ask @help or @manton about my webmentions. Replies from Mastodon used to appear in my blog, as comments to each post, but they don't anymore. I don't know the reason. It might have to do with me trying and failing to link micro.blog and mastodon to brid.gy. I deleted every link to brid.gy but still haven't found the reason why replies from Mastodon are not showing up. They don't appear in the new webmention page, either. Please, help :)

@news already found posts that linked to me I never knew about. Thanks @manton!

@news would consider putting this in the “more readily accessible” “Mentions” somewhere in a different tab? Cc @manton

@news @manton This is super awesome, and I’ve already seen numerous mentions I had no idea about. If memory serves the actual webmentions service has an RSS feed you can subscribe to. Any way of adding this to MB?

@numericcitizen Yes, I'd like to find a way to link it from Mentions. It's a little awkward because webmentions are stored separately for each blog if you have multiple blogs. But maybe we can rethink the DMs link too, and get all mention-like things in one place.

@news Fantastic. Found a few that I hadn't seen before. Any plans on dealing with the broken link (404s)? I second @numericcitizen's request for inclusion on the Mentions page either as a tab or a link that you have in the Settings placed at the top of the mentions page.

@pratik the nature of webmentions is if they come from a URL that no longer exists and that doesn't have any kind of redirect, that's that, unless the author resends it from where the new post is. Never change your URLs!

@news This is so cool, thank you! I hate to ask for a new feature so soon, but it would be awesome to be able to keep up with this list as an RSS feed, so we wouldn’t need to manually check and keep track of new mentions.

@jsonbecker Ah! Can Micro.blog implement something that hides those URLs?

@ericgregorich Right right, I follow @news here. But I’d love to have an RSS feed of my webmentions, instead of going to the page that was just introduced every time.
