Free comment service?

I'm open to building comments as a feature into Blot at some point. But for now, can you use Disqus? It's free

I really do not want to have ads on my blog

Fair enough – please let us know if you come across an embeddable comment service like Disqus that doesn't inject ads, it's been a while since I've done research into comment services.

Hearing good things about Commento, Cusdis, and Utterances.

I have put cusdis in the template for my site and it works well so far.

Suggest to use Cusdis, an open-source and free web service as well. I have embedded in the template and it works well with i18n, I am using Traditional Chinese, support.

Hi. I'd like to try Cusdis. Can you tell me how you embedded it in your template? I tried a few times but cannot get the comment widget to show up at all. I am using a slightly modified blog template. Perhaps a hint of the template file you modified?

You'll want to modify your template's entry.html file to add the embed code. Look for the tag {{{pluginHTML}}}, this is where Blot injects the code for the point-and-click comments services available on the dashboard

I continue to use Isso (https://isso-comments.de) on my https://alongtheray.com site -- they work well and reliabily. It also imported comments from my Wordpress install.

On another site I am playing with I'm trying Valine for comments and so far I'm impressed with it. It's free, too. Am using a free Vercel instance (Valine provides a one-click installer for it and others).

Might want to give it a look-see: https://waline.js.org/en/
