New blog post: Client-side comments with #Mastodon on a static #Jekyll website at https://jan.wildeboer.net/2023/02/Jekyll-Mastodon-Comments/

Replies to this toot will show up as comments on my blog! It's magic! And this post explains how that works.

Client-side comments with Mastodon on a static Jekyll website

For many, many years this blog was a complicated, outdated and slow Wordpress instance. It became a constant bad thought: “You really need to update/fix/speed up that thing”. A while ago I did just that.

Nice approach for comments, but have you considered publishing your own toots on the site?

The Minimal Mistakes theme complicates matters here, as it seems to expect post titles. Been wondering if that’s something we can work around.

Something like @lindsaykwardell set up via @astro, but for Jekyll: https://www.lindsaykwardell.com/blog/integrate-mastodon-with-astro

Integrating Mastodon with Astro

I didn't want to run a personal Mastodon instance, but I wanted to incorporate it into my personal domain. Let's explore what we can do to integrate with the Fediverse!

On my blog? Yes. Every blog entry since last year has its associated toot for comments. But not all got comments :)

I thought I’d go and find a blog with zero comments and add the first. So the #NoAIML blog looked empty. But actually in the f’verse it has lots of comments. What’s up?
