@AlanRalph If you look at websites of “hard-core IndieWebers” ;-) like @aaronpk, @cleverdevil, @EddieHinkle, @jgmac1106, you’ll see examples of how the IndieWeb believes this should work: you create an “in-reply-to” post on your website with your comment and it gets Webmention-ed into the comments of the post you’re replying to (or the Micro.blog conversation; if any of them reply to this conversation, you’ll see it in action here).
Right now, it requires a bit of extra plumbing in many blogging systems and/or specialized clients (so, for instance, you can’t use the Micro.blog app to create a reply on your site to a post you read in your Micro.blog Timeline); it’s not yet simple or common enough that it meshes completely with, say, Manton’s vision for the Micro.blog UI. I think eventually all of this will work itself out and there will be simple/average-people-friendly UI/UX for all of it, but for the moment it’s still relatively early. // @kaa
