If you're interested in showing likes, comments, etc. from social media on your static blog posts, I just wrote about that.
@kevinleedrum I'm not exactly sure how this works. Embedding the link into a post did not yield a mention being displayed on the article's URL.
Is it answers to this toot, which show up there?
@yala I'm not sure if Bridgy will pick up posts that link to an article. I know it will pick up boosts as "reposts".
As far as your reply not showing up on my article, apparently Bridgy stopped fetching new activity on this post because of its age. I entered the URL into the "Resend for post" field on the Bridgy dashboard to manually force discovery, and now it shows up. Thanks for the heads up on that.
@kevinleedrum This is exciting, it partially works!
I'd like to reproduce the setup one day to stabilise the implementation.
Could be cool to have this pattern established as a generic commenting channel for static (Astro) websites, which would help a lot with sharing moderation effort with the instance operators of the interacting users and adding a sane authentication step by using local login for federated commenting, a nice trade-off of obligations to keep the system safe and sound.
