readbeanicecream@ilyess Integrated mastodon comments.
@readbeanicecream Thanks. I'm assuming you mean a one-way read-only integration where you pull a list of replies from Mastodon to display on your blog. Is that right?
@ilyess For the most part. Every blog post is associated with a Mastodon comment ID and a link to the Mastodon post. Comments and engagements are displayed under the blog post, but the actual interaction takes place on mastodon.
You can see this post as an example: https://readbeanicecream.surge.sh/2025/02/22/integrated-mastodon-comments/
@readbeanicecream That's cool. Thanks for the link.
I saw this strategy deployed on multiple blogs. It does move the discussion away from the blog post, though, and has the disadvantage (or advantage, depending on how you look at it) of requiring a Fediverse account to join the discussion. But it seems to work 🤷
@ilyess It works for me. I don't get much traffic or comments so I don't how it scales. But it is easy.
@readbeanicecream Indeed. Easy to implement and works well, which is part of its charm :)
