    I have a blog and a gallery on my own domain. I just want a system for people to interact and recommend my blog and photos that isn’t WordPress, and that is so damn hard to find. A federated wibbly wobbly, timey wimey stuff that connects existing sites.

      Some kind of ring that links webs together?

      None of that is new, it’s just not profitable and so we (humankind) dropped it.

        Webrings were cool but flawed. I’d like something like tumblr, where you can comment and @ someone, but in a federated system where each would manage their own.

        I thought about using Mastodon as a comment system for my blog but the tools to accomplish it are way over my head. I’m not a developer, just someone who happens to know how to install a CMS and to tweak some HTML and CSS.

          Blog pingbacks have existed forever but for different purposes

          Somebody has actually implemented a Bluesky commenting system too already

              They’ve just released support for running and subscribing to 3rd party labeling services, I’m sure somebody’s going to make a filter for that you can subscribe to
