‘AltMetric’-style services, which track citations to academic papers outside of academic literature—so in the news, social media, etc.—have been quick to incorporate #BlueSky posts, but I’ve yet to see one that includes the #fediverse
I can see that (real) decentralisation makes it harder to find citations to papers in the Fediverse, but it ought to be possible.
Is there anybody out there working on some sort of FediMetric service?
