A Salmention is a special Webmention notification both that one URL links to another, and that one URL received and displayed the result of a Webmention itself. For example: </p><p>When Bob writes a reply on his website in response to a post on Alice's website, his site sends a webmention notifying her of his response, which her site's software can do with as it wishes, like display it as a comment on her post. </p><p>When Carol writes a reply on her site in response to Bob's comment, her site similarly sends a webmention to Bob … but what about Alice, who may wish to display this nested comment on her post? </p><p>This is where the Salmention extension comes in. </p><p>When Bob's post is updated to display Carol's reply, Bob's site <b>sends a webmention update (a salmention)</b> to Alice, even though Bob's post content itself hasn't changed. Alice's website software <b>looks for new information on Bob's post, which now includes Carol's response and displays it</b> as a nested response. </p><p>Salmention is a protocol between a salmention sender and a salmention receiver. In the example above: </p> <ul><li>The <b>salmention sender</b> is Bob’s site, it sends a webmention upstream whenever it itself displays the result of receiving a webmention.</li> <li>The <b>salmention receiver</b> is Alice's site, when it receives the webmention update from Bob's site, it not only parses Bob's reply for any updates, but it also explicitly looks for responses to Bob's post, parses those, finds Carol's reply to Bob, and displays it as well.</li></ul> <h2><span class="mw-headline" id="Protocol">Protocol</span></h2> <h3><span class="mw-headline" id="Sending_Salmentions">Sending Salmentions</span></h3> <p>An implementation that sends and receives <a href="/Webmention" title="Webmention">Webmentions</a> can send Salmentions by doing the following: </p><p>When it receives and accepts a Webmention from a response to an original post: </p> <ul><li>Incorporate (or update) the response into the original post’s permalink by nesting the response inside the original, keeping track of whether any changes actually occurred. <ul><li>E.g. incorporate a <a href="/reply" title="reply">reply</a> as a nested comment <a href="/h-entry" title="h-entry">h-entry</a> inside the original’s <a href="/h-entry" title="h-entry">h-entry</a></li></ul></li> <li>If there were any changes (a new or updated response), then resend Webmentions to everything the original post sent webmentions to.</li></ul> <p>That act of resending those Webmentions when an original post is updated in response to responses is called “sending Salmentions”. </p> <h3><span class="mw-headline" id="Receiving_Salmentions">Receiving Salmentions</span></h3> <p>An implementation that receives <a href="/Webmention" title="Webmention">Webmentions</a> can receive Salmentions by doing the following: </p><p>When it receives a Webmention, in addition to normal Webmention processing: </p> <ul><li>Store the contents of the source of the Webmention in such a way that it can be rechecked in the future for any changes.</li></ul> <p>When it receives a previously received Webmention: </p> <ul><li>Check the source of the Webmention for any changes since the previous Webmention (using aforementioned stored contents), in particular any new responses to the source <ul><li>E.g. check for new nested comment <a href="/h-entry" title="h-entry">h-entry</a>(s) inside the source’s <a href="/h-entry" title="h-entry">h-entry</a></li></ul></li> <li>Incorporate any new response(s) to the source both into those stored contents, and display as inline responses to the target itself. <ul><li>E.g. displaying a reply to a reply, as an additional comment on the original post.</li> <li>If the previous Webmention generated a <a href="/notification" title="notification">notification</a>, then the new response(s) should as well.</li></ul></li></ul> <p>The act of noticing a re-receiving of a Webmention and doing something when there are changes in the source, specifically nested responses, is called “receiving Salmentions”. </p> <h2><span class="mw-headline" id="IndieWeb_Examples">IndieWeb Examples</span></h2> <p>In order of implementation </p> <h3><span class="mw-headline" id="Ben_Roberts">Ben Roberts</span></h3> <p><span class="h-card"><a href="https://ben.thatmustbe.me" class="external u-url"><img src="https://ben.thatmustbe.me/image/static/icon_64.jpg" class="" style="height:1.1em;vertical-align:-.1em" alt="" /></a> <span class="p-name p-nickname"><a href="/User:Ben.thatmustbe.me" title="User:Ben.thatmustbe.me">Ben Roberts</a></span></span> supports sending Salmentions on his site since at least 2015-07-12 and built his support to help pass <a href="/SWAT0" title="SWAT0">SWAT0</a> as Player A.<a class="external autonumber" href="https://aaronparecki.com/notes/2015/07/14/1/swat0">[1]</a> Support for receiving was added since then (date unsure) <a class="external autonumber" href="https://ben.thatmustbe.me/note/2016/5/16/2/">[2]</a> </p> <h3><span class="mw-headline" id="Aaron_Parecki">Aaron Parecki</span></h3> <p><span class="h-card" style="white-space:nowrap"><img src="https://aaronparecki.com/images/profile.jpg" class="" style="height:1.1em;vertical-align:-.1em" alt="" /> <a href="/User:Aaronparecki.com" title="User:Aaronparecki.com">Aaron Parecki</a></span> supports sending Salmentions since 2016-03-23, and receiving Salmentions on his site since 2015-07-12 and built this support to help pass <a href="/SWAT0" title="SWAT0">SWAT0</a> as Player B.<a class="external autonumber" href="https://aaronparecki.com/notes/2015/07/14/1/swat0">[3]</a> </p> <h3><span class="mw-headline" id="capjamesg">capjamesg</span></h3> <p><span class="h-card" style="white-space:nowrap"><img src="https://jamesg.blog/assets/coffeeshop.jpg" class="" style="height:1.1em;vertical-align:-.1em" alt="" /> <a href="/User:Jamesg.blog" title="User:Jamesg.blog">capjamesg</a></span> is building features to send and receive Salmentions in the <a href="/IndieWeb_Utils" title="IndieWeb Utils">IndieWeb_Utils</a> library.

If one of your posts receives a mention (eg. as the target of a like, repost or inReplyTo, etc), your server should send the <i>new post</i> (the one that mentions you) to <i>all recipients</i> of your original post. (In ActivityPub, your server pushes your posts out to your followers, and retains a list of everyone posts are sent to, but this basically translates to sending a webmention to the original post). </p> <h3><span class="mw-headline" id="Salmon">Salmon</span></h3> <div style="text-indent:2em;font-style:italic">Main article: <a href="/Salmon" title="Salmon">Salmon</a></div> <p>The <a href="/Salmon" title="Salmon">Salmon</a> protocol is a predecessor to <a href="#ActivityPub">#ActivityPub</a> that broke useful conceptual ground but never gained widespread adoption.
