I've implemented displaying of blog posts comments in BazQux Reader (https://bazqux.com https://bazqux.com) years ago. But in general it works well only for niche sites with good communities. Popular sites have too many spam/bullshit in comments.
BTW: it's possible to read Twitter in RSS reader too and make it a "slow web".
- avian 8y agoHow are you fetching the comments? RSS has no support for that as far as I know.
- alexmingoia 8y agoAtom has support for commments. Decentralized blog comments work like this: You post a reply to your own blog and set rel=“in-reply-to” then notify the author using Webmention. The authors blog software then adds the comment, which gets included in the feed. See aaronparecki.com for working example and the IndieWeb community in general for an example of a community doing standard decentralized comments on the web. The future of the blogosphere remains bright.
- vshabanov 8y agoRSS has <wfw:commentRss> for linking comments feed and <comments> for linking page with comments. Atom has <link rel=replies> or just <link rel=alternate type="application/atom+xml"> for comment feeds. And I'm visiting blog post pages first to check whether they have Disqus comments (which processed separately via Disqus API) and <blog_post_URL>/feed feeds.
