It reads all the websites I'm visiting and shows me all the other people that also visit this website? Do I understand this correctly?
I read it as:
If mastadon user A owns a website, A can add a custom generated url to their site.
Now if mastadon user B goes on user A's site, one of them gets added to the other's list. I'm not sure if A is added on B's list or B on A's list. Or maybe both?
That sounds like an overengineered way of just adding your Mastodon handle to your site.
