Should I find a way to add comments to my Jekyll site? Start a Facebook group for it? Other better suggestions?
The site is https://therailtrails.com/

Thanks for the suggestions.
My website is a non-technical site about hiking. I don’t see anything on the Github Discussions page that says the discussions are limited to developer discussions, but that’s the obvious intent.
over the years I have seen a handful of clever comment solutions but they never seem to last. I’ve tried disqus and facebook and took them both off partly for lack of interest and partly cause I didn’t like them.
Your site is interesting and comments could really add some value I think, but anywhere you have comments you are going to have spam and the things you have to do to get rid of the spam are generally a pain.
There is people doing it with Mastodon: Client-side comments with Mastodon on a static Jekyll website - Jan Wildeboer’s Blog
I didn’t have the time to try but I like the idea.
