    Super neat concept. I really enjoy the melding of (micro)blogs and threads, which is what I like about Kbin/Mbin; I can follow interesting people from Mastodon without needing to visit a separate app or site. In a way, this scratches that same itch for Lemmy.

    This is really cool. Can you add more detail on how to set this up to the blogpost?

      I was, but honestly there’s not much to write without getting into the specifics of parsing the lemmy api, because it’s literally just a fetchcall and then turning the response into nice html

        This reply is for informing you that both your and my comments are visible on the blog. Also, i’m posting from lemm.ee and the user is from .ml. So cross-instance comments are also working.

        Good job @morrowind@lemmy.ml

    Ooh, that’s nice. I could see that effectively replacing disqus comments below articles. Cool beans!

    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.

        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.

    Interesting. What is tge reasoning behind only fetching the comments vs. a full fediverse integration?

      Fediverse integration would require me to run, pay for and maintain a federated server. This takes me 50 lines of Javascript on a completely static site that cloudflare runs for free. It’s just so much easier

    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.
