Let's try this one more time...
Can I use Mastodon for commenting on my blog?
@leo Ahh the link is returning a 404 not found.
@adamsdesk Interesting. Not for me.
@leo @adamsdesk I'm also getting a website presented 🙂👍
@adamsdesk Can you go to leo.fm at all?
@leo Yes that works. The comments post is now working, https://leo.fm/2022/02/comments/.
@leo Ah! Leo Laporte is on Mastodon?! I've been such fan of yours for so long!
So cool!
@nathand Thanks! Nice to meet you. I've been here forever. We ran an Identica instance called the TWiT Army some years ago. After Mastodon started I created an account at mastodon.social, and a couple of years ago started a dedicated TWiT instance at twit.social. I really do love the Fediverse and all things Open Web.
@leo I'm really glad to hear it.
I saw you were having problems with the page, so I took a look.
Looks like DOMPurity is hitting a 404 on your site.
I'm not sure how you're set up with Hugo and hosting/cache, etc, but it could be that the file isn't getting pushed, or it's not being picked up by the cache.
I imagine you've seen all of this by now, but I hope it helps.
@nathand I am such a pathetic hack. I put the js code everywhere I could think of. Finally worked when I put it in /static/assets/js/ - so it works! Yay!
@leo Sounds like Hugo 😆. I spent a lot of time trying to wrap my head around the template system. Sometimes I forget that the top-level static directory is merged with the rest of the theme and theme-specific static directories.
Glad you got it fixed.
@nathand Yeah! Hugo + Mastodon is open source heaven!
@leo Neat. It would be nice if it threaded it right on your blog page though rather than dumping out to the Mastodon UI. Not that I dislike the Mastodon UI, it's just a bit of a janky experience.
@mike_mattatall Yeah I agree it's jarring to be pushed out into Mastodon. I'm not sure how else to do it, though. Maybe in an iFrame?
Mastodon is doing all the heavy lifting - and the comments are full Mastodon posts, which is part of the benefit I think. It makes it a community discussion.
Ugly as it is I'll probably keep it.
@leo works great! So glad you're promoting the fediverse:)
@leo Huzzah! Glad to see you got it working!
@leo testing out the commenting function... Thanks for always being on the bleeding edge...

@roland Interesting. I wonder if it's something running on your system. I don't get any errors with Firefox and Ublock Origin.
@leo testing...
This is an awesome idea! I love the idea of linking Hugo to the Fediverse for comments. ;-)
@leo Oh! This is really cool. I was thinking about adding commento to my Hugo blog but then just happened on your post! Since I’m diving into Mastodon at the moment I’ll see if I can get this working!
Purify.min.js is now installed. I think.
