Improved replying on Micro.blog to send Webmentions to any external site in
the reply chain, not just the root post. This more consistently allows replies
to be copied to multiple external blogs that are participating in the
conversation.
Ok, let me see if I’ve got this right—if I reply to a reply that’s later in
the chain, I try to track down the original post like this:
Load the URL I’m replying to.
If it has an u-in-reply-to link, load that page (repeat step 1 & 2, ad
finitum).
Once I hit the end of the chain, I am left with an array of the reply
history.
This should work on micro.blog because the only actual h-entry on a reply’s
permalink is the ACTUAL reply—the other entries shown on the page are just
posts that won’t be picked up by the microformats parser? Pretty interesting
approach.
This post accepts webmentions. Do you have the URL to your post?

Sweet! So this works identically to Salmentions?
