Nested (reddit-like), Threaded Comments

  • Question: Does this plugin allow me to add nested comments to the bottom of my wordpress blog posts?

    I’m looking for a solution to add comments to the bottom of my wordpress posts. Besides the built-in wordpress comments, I’ve commonly seen this done with third-party services, such as with:

    1. Discourse comments (example)
    2. Disqus comments (example)

    Neither of these allow users to make comments from their fav federated instance using ActivityPub. Lemmy, however, has the best UX I’ve seen for long, nested, threaded comments on the ActivityPub fediverse. Here’s an example:

    I’ve seen that this plugin can be used to add federated comments from the fediverse to the comments section of a wordpress post (example), but I haven’t seen reddit-style nested comments with upvotes and downvotes like we have on lemmy.

    Is it possible to use this wordpress plugin with lemmy posts, such that:

    1. The wordpress comments section will display all of the (threaded) comments that were made on one (or more?) lemmy post that links to the given wordpress article
    2. Allows the user to sort comments with different algorithms, based on upvotes & downvotes (new, top, controversial, etc)
    3. Displays the upvote and downvote buttons, for users who are on the fediverse to be able to upvote or downvote a given comment directly on the wordpress site, using their federated ActivityPub account

    If it *is* possible to use this plugin to add “nested comments from the fediverse” to the bottom of my blog post, please link me to an example that shows this in-action.

    Hey @maltfield ??

    the plugin does not replace the built-in comment system. All interactions from the fediverse will be stored as classic posts with threading support.

    I hope this answers your question.

    Do viewers of my wordpress site’s ActivityPub interactions have the ability to interact with these others’ posts (comments) by clicking an upvote button (ActivityPub Like = Mastodon Boost) or downvote (ActivitPub Disklike = Lemmy downvote) directly on my wordpress page?

    And can a viewer of my wodpress site’s ActivityPub interactions have the ability to dynamically change the order of appearance (sort) these posts (comments) by chronological order, number of likes, total score (likes – dislikes), etc?

    No, there are no Lemmy specifics implemented yet.

    No, this is also not possible yet. We started with implementing it the WordPress way and then improve on that.

    I created a feature request to add “like” and “dislike” buttons for comments here:

    As posted on GitHub, here’s what I’m looking for:

    The screenshots above shows the bottom of a blog post on my website.

    The comments section includes a lot of nested lemmy comments, which were orginally made on this lemmy post that linked to my wordpress article. Each comment has an upvote and downvote button, so readers of my blog can like or dislike each federated ActivityPub Note directly. There is also set of filter buttons at the top, where users can sort the order that the comments appear.
