Using my Webmention plugin, I can now send mentions from both posts and comments.
If I reply to a note of mine using a reply *post* (or note), it’ll send a mention to that note, and create a comment.
If I then reply to that comment using a reply *comment*, it’ll send a mention to the reply *post* (and create a comment *there*).
#Webmention inception.
The idea is obviously not to make things more complicated, but to allow to keep threads complete instead.
Previously, if someone sent me a mention, I’d have to create a reply [note or post] if I wanted them to get a mention in return. Now I can just reply “inline.”
Only replies to remote posts would have to start as a new post/note anymore.
@janboddez I was playing with trying to figure out how to automate this myself just yesterday (which you helped me understand the methodology on a previous post.)
I was just going to start asking how to make something like a “comment template” that injects this:
<div class="h-entry">
<div class="u-in-reply-to h-cite">
<p class="p-author h-card"></p>
<a class="u-url" href="//insert url of post being commented on here//" rel="nofollow ugc"></a>
</div>
<p class="e-content">//insert actual reply-to-the-reply comment here//</p>
</div>
…then of course if I get it working, trying to do the ActivityPub version somehow.
– But you say you’ve got it all straightened out in your plug in now? Is it going to be updated?
