What is Mastalab comments?

Mastalab Comments will automatically display comments from Mastodon corresponding to the URL of your articles in the comment area of your site.
In other words, if you publish a URL on Mastodon and people leave comments, they will be automatically displayed below your articles.

The plugin also allows to display comments below Peertube videos.

What do I need?

You need an account on Mastodon that will publish URLs for your articles.
