Pretty cool idea that leans into Lemmy’s ability to provide a rich and federated blogging platform. Essentially, with this tool, it seems, a lemmy post along with its comments can become static content on a static web page of your choice.

This is a great way to include comments and discussion on a static site. Take a look at the demo.

    That’s not really possible because there’s no way to know which instance to direct someone to. No point directing them to an instance where they don’t have an account.

    Also I don’t think showing buttons like upvote which just redirect to another page is a good UX at all.

      At least they will know it is on lemmy , then they can figure out how to use it. And that’s a general problem of the fediverse, there are extensions that redirect you to your home instance for that.

      Also I don’t think showing buttons like upvote which just redirect to another page is a good UX at all.

      I think it is at least better then the current state, where you have a tiny button that testing with heat maps will probably show is almost invisible, maybe adding text “go to lemmy to participate in the discussion” is also a decent option.
