Test post for Mastodon Comments

Robert W. Gehl, 16 December 2021

I've been struggling with having comments on this Jekyll-based static site for a while. For a bit, I used Staticman, but that died for some reason.

Then, it hit me: so many sites use Facebook comments. Why can't I use Mastodon, the FOSS alternative social media system, to do something similar?

Fortunately, this guide provided all the code I could need to do exactly that!

So this is a test run. Feel free to comment on it using your Mastodon account. (I think other federated accounts might work, but not sure -- if so, let me know in the comments!)

If you don't have a Mastodon account, don't worry! You can sign up for an instance and join the federated fun.
