Thanks for the info. I looked into if those things can be done automatically, and ... I think so: For HN, there's https://news.ycombinator.com/newest https://news.ycombinator.com/newest which the software could monitor, and detect links to one's blog. And Reddit also has a latest-submissions feed. At both Reddit and Twitter, one can search for URLs. Seems it's possible to auto link to submissions at HN, Reddit, and to Twitter tweets, then. And Google Alerts can publish mentions of URLs to RSS feeds, so maybe can find & link to [other blog post that mention one's own blog post]. (There's webmentions .. not all blogs use that.) ... maybe Google Alerts has API restrictions & rate limits, so maybe won't work. If each discussion that happens somewhere else, gets posted at one's blog, by the comments software, in the shape of [a comment with a link to the discussion] — then one would automatically get a notification about the remote discussion (since each comment generates a notification to the blog owner).
