I could have sworn Mastodon sent Webmentions for URLs in posts. I guess I was wrong.
(I just spent a lot of time adding Webmention functionality to a site because I thought Mastodon sent them. Oops!)

It turns out there’s no way to even attempt detecting a mention on a Mastodon URL without a headless browser because Mastodon requires JavaScript to load up all the content into the DOM.
@ramsey You can’t use the api?
@kevinmarks.com I’m federating in the other direction through Brid.gy, so I’m not sure it works. I didn’t get a mention posted to my site when I posted a link here.
@ramsey I just googled webmentions and gemini happily lied to my face and mentioned mastodon multiple times
@ramsey I think Snac send webmentions.
