After seeing @emilyliu.me 's post this morning about using Bluesky for the comments section on her site, I had to try it. Here's a writeup on how to do it, with everything you need to set it up yourself in five minutes. Leave a comment on this post to test it out! www.coryzue.com/writing/blue...

Now I'm just waiting for a FIrefox extension.

It's almost ready – I've got a ZIP generated for it on the repo (github.com/joneslloyd/b...) but it's currently erroring. If you'd like to help test it, feel free :)

woah. this changes a lot of things... btw could you TLDR about how exactly that works? where are the comments for each domain stored?

Hey, It works by first searching for a post with the URL, tag and "Discussing" text, and if one isn't found, it creates one.

This is clearly not robust or particularly 'safe' (eg, If somebody deletes their original post, the discussion is lost). I'm working on improvements, including a posting bot (instead of tying the original thread to the first user).

Genius!

can you make this for firefox

I’ve never made anything for Firefox but if it’s a popular idea I can try.

yeees please firefox <3 Also, good job man. Love this idea

For those wondering how it works, when you visit a website and click the extension's button, it checks BlueSky for a link to the current page and loads the comments for that post. If there isn't a post for it, it makes one (under your account).

This can quickly make your profile noisy, even when just testing a couple websites. 😅
