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/](https://therailtrails.com/) Terry Buffalo, NY ---

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](https://jan.wildeboer.net/2023/02/Jekyll-Mastodon-Comments/) I didn’t have the time to try but I like the idea. ---

Hello As per me, adding comments to your Jekyll site can boost engagement. You can consider Disqus or Commento for easy integration. [GitHub Issues](https://github.com/features/issues) is another option if your site is on GitHub Pages. Custom solutions or social media platforms like Twitter are also worth exploring. Hope it helps ! Thank you nolanmaris ---

Hello, I thing adding comments to your Jekyll site is a great idea. It allows visitors to interact directly with your content. starting a Facebook group can also help build a community, offering a space for discussion and updates.
