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.

    I think we could get away with sniffing the user agent and serving up static content instead if it looks like a bot.

    I’m a full stack dev by day, but everything I’ve worked on has been a web app that doesn’t need SEO, so I’m not exactly sure how that works in practice. But presumably we could generate and cache a basic webpage periodically for each post for use by bots and perhaps for accessibility (e.g. very basic HTML that’s just good enough to use with links or something). It would have the same content as the main page, but none of the JS or CSS.

    It shouldn’t be too hard to render with a templating library.
