How it works

  1. 1

    Add your site to wbmntn and copy the two-line snippet.

  2. 2

    Paste it into the head of your pages. When it is live on your homepage, wbmntn verifies the site.

  3. 3

    Connect Bluesky or Mastodon to collect replies. Add your feed URL to send webmentions when your posts link to other sites.

Receive

Mentions from other sites arrive at your endpoint. Approve each one by hand, allow all, or deny all. The JSON API serves them as a JF2 feed.

Backfeed

Connect Bluesky or Mastodon. Replies, likes and reposts become mentions on the matching blog post.

Send

Add your feed URL. When a new post links to another site, wbmntn sends that site a webmention.
