Hey thanks for checking this out.

I've considered this, Bhread detects replies when another site publishes a post containing this:

- A string: "replying to "

- followed by a link to the the one they're replying to

I think this is enough to provide context but it's still early to tell if that's effective.

How does bhread know to ingest my blog? Can the RSS feed be submitted somewhere?

I think this is an interesting concept but you might want to include this info in your show hn post, including this info youve just shared about how bhread detects replies. Otherwise, I had no idea how any of this works even after looking through several pages on the site.

Glad you found the concept interesting. I admit it's my fault for not including enough information for anyone who's willing to spend their time for my project.

I'm out of the edit window now so I'll answer your question here.

There's a page for RSS feed submission: https://bhread.com/feeds/

And for more details about bhread, I have a blog post that may help (how to participate, and why): https://blog.bhread.com/posts/about-bhread/

In the future, I'll add a page that will get new users up to speed in a single place. Everything's scattered right now and pasting links is getting old for me.

Anyways, thank you for the feedback and suggestions, I'm taking notes.

Thanks! I appreciate your friendly reply. Best of luck
