    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.

    Neat. It took me a while to realise what was going on: the post on Lemmy and the blogpost are two separate entities. The Lemmy post is a link to the blogpost, and the blogpost uses the post_id to fetch the comments (so I guess this means you have to make the blogpost, make the Lemmy post, and then go back and edit the blogpost with the correct id?)

    The script is inspectable on the blog - I can see it does:
    const url = 'https://lemmy.ml/api/v3/comment/listpost_id=21617067&limit=100&max_depth=8&sort=Top&type_=All';

    So I suppose there’s an inbuilt limit for comment depth and number of replies, but if you start down the road of working on that, you’ll eventually find that you’ve re-invented a front-end, and there’s no end to it.

    What the duckquill guys are doing is a bit fudgy, in that they’re getting another website to do the federation legwork for them, but the results are pleasing enough.

      Lol, don’t blame the duckquill dev, he only wrote the mastodon one, which I don’t use. This is all me.

      So I suppose there’s an inbuilt limit for comment depth and number of replies, but if you start down the road of working on that, you’ll eventually find that you’ve re-invented a front-end, and there’s no end to it.

      Yeah, I kinda chose the limits arbitrarily, but I don’t expect them to be an issue anytime soon.

      This setup is also more flexible. I can in the future add comments from multiple lemmy posts, as well as other completely different sites.

    It would be nice if you could sign-in/comment directly from the blog. But I’m guessing the Lemmy api doesn’t provide that without making the blog it’s own instance

      It could be a web app like Voyager but you really shouldn’t just enter your credential willy nilly all over the place.

        Theoretically Lemmy could open a pop-up or redirect to sign in through your instance.

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

      I did the same using Mastodon for my blog, ended up switching to Disqus (shudders) just because it supports more SSO options for accounts that my limited readership is likely to have
