My blog now supports #Mastodon comments too ^_^ #blogged https://zerokspot.com/weblog/2021/01/07/comments-via-mastodon/
@Skoop It's really sad about Disqus IMO. The platform was really nice until they went all-in on ad-networks 😞
@zerok would be great if there was a similar thing that was self-hosted. perhaps there is, I'd have to research
@Skoop There are a couple alternatives that are similar enough to Disqus: https://www.talkyard.io/blog-comments , https://github.com/umputun/remark42 , https://commento.io/ . Perhaps one of these matches are needs 🙂
@zerok thanks!
@zerok cool stuff!
@zerok Love the idea! Is there any filtering on post visibility taken into account? For example I would think that unlisted and follower-only responses should not be displayed publicly.
Btw, personally I removed Disqus in favor of isso, which is a simple self-hosted comment section. It is definitely worth checking out as well. https://posativ.org/isso/
@janw Good point. So far I forward everything that is returned by /api/v1/statuses/:id/context. According to the docs it should only contain public status updates if the request was sent without authentication (which is what I'm doing here).
@zerok looks nice! I don't know webmention that well but aren't webmention and mastodon redundant? How do the two compare?
@xiu With webmentions only those posts with direct links to the post would be considered comments to the post. For everything beyond that you'd need something like https://brid.gy/ for also fetching comments of comments 🙂
I personally prefer to treat them separately for now.
@zerok thanks. So far I am using a self-hosted isso instance, but may try that with the Mastodon comments, too.
@zerok finally 😜
@zerok Nicely done :) I will check your retoots :)
@zerok I still need to remove disqus from my blog. perhaps I will take some time this week to do just that.
