# 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:

```html
<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](https://brid.gy/), 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.
