@codeinabox It's different.
Webmention is similar to #pingback that was popular with blogs and websites.
Webmention basically sends information to the sites linked that hey, I mentioned your link in my website.
So, if a third-party site is using OSM (as an example) materials but did not include any link back to them, webmention won't be triggered.
Also, one can trigger webmention without actually having a visible link. So, in this case, providing Attribution, since there is no visible link, there still is no Attribution given.

Seeing if I'm able to install @Castopod on my DreamHost shared hosting. Using this guide, since I couldn't find info about it on the Castopod website.
So far the most annoying thing is the time it takes to upload the files to the SFTP… But normally I don't upload much stuff, so I haven't put any money into fast upload speeds.

The only forum-like part of a server is its Local timeline. It's the only thing that requires you to be on that server or looking at that server's website.
So, whether you regard a server as a forum depends on whether you use the Local timeline or not.
I personally don't use Local much, so to me the Fediverse is entirely cross-server.
But if someone does use Local a lot then they might feel differently.
Your server's website is the site you signed up on. If you don't remember, look at the address on your profile page, it's underneath your name (looks like @ user @ server).
The last part of your address is your server's website.
So, for example, looking at your profile I can see you're on https://mstdn.social
