It was thus said that the Great Jason McBrayer once stated:

But what I was thinking about was something more similar to

Pingbacks[1]. I'm not interested in comments on blogs; I'm more

interested in something like what we have going in gopher, but with a

system for notifying authors that they've been replied to on another

gemlog. It looks like the current specification for doing this kind of

thing on the web is Webmention[2], which comes from the indieweb

community. I haven't put in very much thought into how I actually want

it to work, but I probably need to start by reading the Webmention

documentation.

Both Pingback and Webmention use the <link> tag in HTML or a custom HTTPheader to indicate an endpoint to send a notification to. It will beinteresting to see how you would work around the lack of such things inGemini.
