Saw this post the other day and was inspired to make something slightly more stupid, plus it gave me an excuse to work on my website, lol

        Thank you, I should have tried that. (I tried /feed - without the .xml). I’m also pretty sure there’s some html meta tag pointing at the feed. I use Feeder on android and it can usually find the feed, even if it has some nonstandard path. EDIT: This is how it looks like in the linked The Thin Computer article linked:

        <link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" title="The Thin Computer &raquo; Feed" href="https://thin.computer/index.php/feed/" />
        
        <link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" title="The Thin Computer &raquo; Comments Feed" href="https://thin.computer/index.php/comments/feed/" />
        
        <link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" title="The Thin Computer &raquo; Using Termux on Android for Self Hosting? Yes, really. Comments Feed" href="https://thin.computer/index.php/2024/03/21/using-termux-on-android-for-self-hosting-yes-really/feed/" />

          Ah, I will look into adding that to my React layouts. Thanks for the suggestion!

      I have been looking for an alternative recently, I was going to publish an article about why I dropped disqus and my search for an alternative but I never saw this. I guess the search term “self-hosted website comments” has all its SEO clogged up with Disqus by now. Will check this out though, thanks!

        It’s pretty nice except how abandonwar-y all of Matrix feels. I run cactus here – https://reticulated.net/

        It’s kind of annoying that you have to join the matrix room every time you post but still better than Disqus or those weird git repo comment systems

          Ah I will look into that, maybe there’s a Matrix library I can implement so that I don’t have to do that manually, lol.
