This should be a pinned post as it really captures the essence of my experience so far. (programming.dev)

I've been self-hosting Mastodon for a while and mostly using it to share bird photography, but also to provide comments on a static site. Since Mastodon and Lemmy both speak ActivityPub, those get crossposted to /c/flashlight so Lemmy comments are also included on my site. Federation is cool.

I don't follow many accounts that post Fediverse meta stuff on Mastodon. While I have some interest in the best examples of that content, the only way to attract a broader community is to promote accounts and content appealing to the interests of that broader audience.

Wow, that comments section is really nice! How did you implement it? Does the site also use ActivityPub and subscribe to the thread?

[–] Zak@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

It uses the Mastodon API in a client-side script adapted from this one.

Mmmmmmmm Emisar… I picked up the DT8 recently and it’s absolutely hilarious. I love it so much.
