Would be cool if something like this existed for WordPress
Thanks to your post, the comments and the discussion that ensued, I was able to recreate the same effect on my Wordpress blog: https://www.lealternative.net/2024/10/21/cal-com-infrastruttura-di-pianificazione-per-chiunque/ 🧡
Kinda cool. To be honest I’m mostly posting this to test it.
Ooh, that’s nice. I could see that effectively replacing disqus comments below articles. Cool beans!
this is actually really cool! I also wanna suggest using any instance besides .ml or .world, just for the sake of why Lemmy exists in the first place
In new to lemmy. Curious what the significance of ml and world are? Do you mean those TLDs or just lemmy.ml and lemmy.world specifically
the latter, they are the largest instances, and it’s generally healthy to spread stuff out
just those two specifically, the more everything uses those two instances the more power they have basically. the whole point of being federated is to avoid being idk ruled over by any people, groups, or greedy little pig boys.
I get the idea, but it’s my home instance, so it’d be kinda weird for me to use a different one. Also would add an extra step
I am so digging this!
Neat! Do you pick one instance to load comments from? I notice that this comment isn’t showing up immediately, so wondering if there’s federation delay or the like.
Currently uses my home instance, lemmy.ml. I’d expect there to be some delay
I’m a little bit biased here but it might be a good idea to use an instance like lemmy.zip instead, to minimize the amount of defederation going on.
peachy keen, friend. peachy keen.
Alright, let’s see if this shows
it be there! ;-)
awesome job!

"Duckquill has built in support for loading Mastodon comments see (the example on the theme site), given the link where you posted it. But I don’t much care for Mastodon …I prefer Lemmy, where you don’t really care about followers, as long as your content is good and posted to right community(ies). So I made my own."

Well, I’m going to reply from a Mastodon account anyway. So there : P
Doesn’t Lemmy already support federated wordpress blogs as locked communities? I don’t really see how this extra complexity is needed.
I wonder what happens if a comment is deleted
@morrowind Test comment from outside of Lemmy
Nice! That works too
How about image support?
Not at the moment, since that would require parsing the markdown
Wait, so theoretically, you could create a blog, and create a Lemmy instance/community, post a blog entry, have it auto post the blog entry to your instance, and now the Lemmy comments for the Lemmy post are the comments on the blog post? Do I have that right?
And in theory THIS comment should show up on your blog, yes?
Edit: Hey, I see it!
Oh much simpler, I just make a post with my blog as a link, and supply that link to my site and it shows the comments from that link. As I said, not actually federated. It’s basically a sort of frontend.
Could you make a community, and a bot? The bot would look for any post on your blog, then the bot creates a post in that community that uses the blog post title as the lemmy title, and uses the blog body as the post body.
Then the bot tells your blog the url of the lemmy post to use the lemmy comments.
Then, I see the button that says “load lemmy comments”. Maybe your bot also creates a mastodon using the title of the blog post as a link to the blog post. Then any mastodon replies to that mastodon post could be under a different button that just says “Load Mastodon replies”.
So at the end of your blog you have “Load Lemmy comments” (just as we see here) but next to it is “Load Mastodon replies”.
And all of this, is done by you just posting once to the blog, while the bots do everything else in an instant.
You just post once on the blog, and automatically a Lemmy post is created which is a duplicate of the blog post, the lemmy comments are loaded via a button on the blog automatically, a Mastodon post is created which is just a link to the blog using that posts title as the clickable link, AND a button on the blog is created to see Mastodon replies to the mastodon post.
Everything besides the innitial blog post is automatic.
Is that possible?
Possible sure, but aside from the effort to make such a bot, posting to my own community would mean that very few people would see it, aside from those who already follow the blog. I have to pick a lemmy community, at which point I may as well do the rest of the work too. Now maybe I could have an llm analyze my post, fetch a list of communities, and then pick a likely one, but honestly this is getting too complicated
Doesn’t Lemmy support cross posting?
I considered implementing Lemmy comments and theorised I’d post to my own community/instance so I had full moderation control, then cross post that to all the relevant communities.
Oh, I figure you make your own community. The Mastodon account grows your blogs awareness. The Lemmy community serves as a place to discuss your blog while also being host to the majority of the conversation. And the blog is the host of the content.
What an awesome implementation for Lemmy!
