I’m very new to self host, so apologies if I say things wrong.
Anyway, I’m looking for comment systems that I can deploy to fly.io (or similar systems but not Heroku) for my static pages (Jekyll) that comes with Codeberg/Sourcehut pages. I found staticman but it assumes Github/Gitlab.
Thanks!
A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don’t control.
Rules:
Be civil: we’re here to support and learn from one another. Insults won’t be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.
No spam posting.
Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it’s not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.
Don’t duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
No trolling.

Currently using https://utteranc.es/ for my blog. Though I’m not sure in the privacy side. It uses github issues as the backend.
that looks cool! Do commenters need a github account to do that though?
They do. I can see that it’s a deal breaker for some, but IMO github acc is better than disqus. IDK, maybe there are better options listed by others here.
My requirements were I don’t want to deal with user accounts and spam, and not disqus (I’ve blocked it with pihole).
I use hypothes.is
Disqus could be integrated but I am not completely sure.
I’ve heard that it’s not very privacy respecting, is it right?
I am not sure what could be the problem? People will comment if they want.
