Webmentions

A webmention is how one site tells another that it has linked to it. It is the IndieWeb’s version of a notification, and it means appreciation from elsewhere on the web can land on your own post rather than staying on a platform. Tinylytics accepts them, shows them on the Community tab, and can count likes as kudos for that path.

This is in beta.

Add this to your <head>. The same tag appears in Kudos setup and on the Community tab, so you only need to copy it from one of them:

<link rel="webmention" href="https://tinylytics.app/webmention/YOUR_EMBED_CODE">

When someone likes your post from their own site, or through a bridge like Bridgy, we fetch the source page and check that it genuinely links to yours before doing anything with it. That verification step is what keeps webmentions from becoming a spam channel. Verified likes become kudos; mentions and reposts appear in Community.

In your kudos stats you can filter by source External to see which sites have been sending them, which is often more interesting than the count itself.
