Hey Jeena, Because of the way Micro.blog is architected, it treats original posts and replies differently. It should be sending webmentions for original posts, but it doesn’t currently send webmentions to posts that are in reply to other posts. I think there also might be a potential issue if you haven’t verified your domain. Besides that, it should work.
I had a look into my logs and it looks like #Micro.blog doesn't send any webmentions to my site when someone comments, which is a pity, because when I trigger it manually, their comment shows up nicely on my website.
Are any #indieweb folks heading to #ghc2018 this year? If there's any interest, I'd love to have an ad-hoc homebrew website club!

What self-publishing does is provide me a choice, which makes me feel good. I feel like I can step away from platforms at will and I don’t feel as shackled as I have done previously.
I’ll try to write up a blog post about it tomorrow. The short version which will sound super jargon heavy: I use the IndiePaper service to parse the page and send content to my Microsub Server, Aperture. I use a Microsub Notifier app that watches for new posts in my saved channel, and sends those posts to my Kindle email.
