I was thinking about this earlier, and the simplest solution might just be
to leave a comment that's just a link to your post. But obviously that
requires comments to already be a thing on their gemlog.

Some sort of webmention-type system would be cool, but only if it means
we can all see the webmentions, and it doesn't end up being a private message
to the author. Also, I worry about the complication of developing a whole
other mentioning protocol, since at first glance the existing systems don't
seem very transferable. I'd be happy to be wrong about that though.
