"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
It may be a little overly negative, I use mastodon, I just don’t find it useful to publish my stuff on
Doesn’t Lemmy already support federated wordpress blogs as locked communities? I don’t really see how this extra complexity is needed.
Dude this is 10x simpler than WordPress
Awsum!
Hey aren’t you the duckquill dev?
Mhm :)
Does it also work with Mastodon? Because it is possible to reply to Lemmy posts from Mastodon, right?
It works with anything lemmy works with, so yes
That’s awesome
It appears to. I just copy-pasted the link into Mastodon and it loaded this post with all the comments. Discovery for Lemmy posts on Mastodon still sucks though.
What an awesome implementation for Lemmy!
This is a test comment to check the functionality.

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
Sweet! This is really cool and inspired me to try something.
Duckquill sounds like cold medicine specifically formulated for ducks.
I just wanted to say 2 things, 1) Very cool! 2)Nice username.
Would be cool if something like this existed for WordPress
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.

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 seems like a tedious workflow, but the end result is quite good.
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.
Hello webcrawlers! 🕷️🕷️
Immediately scrolls down to the comment section. I’ve been spoiled by content just automatically loading, but I saw the “Load Lemmy” button. Tres chic.
It would be cool if there was a raised question mark button to the right for the load button, that on mouse over or click shows a tooltip explaining shortly what Lemmy is, as well as directly telling the user what community and instance the comments hail from - even before loading the content.
A standard tooltip for that purpose would be kind of nice.
Yeah I could add that.

Well I’d have to load something to show this, unless I set it manually, which would be cumbersome.
Yeah, I’m not saying it’s easy to do ^^ it is a job and a half just to design it, for sure. I’m not facetious enough to pretend anything else.
Great!
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
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
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.
