fwiw, i also see the benefit for comments. i want to make a “news-like” site (think small, single-topic news) that is fediverse-connected. however, i would want the reader/community to have opportunity to _comment on articles_. otherwise, i would be installing writefreely at this moment. as such, i am looking elsewhere. (most fediverse software seems too noisy and non-article-like. blech.)

i totally feel for you as the main/only developer. (i have similar projects!) but still wanted to put in my (sympathetic) vote for comments. 😄

But that would entirely use the thread context and prevent people from commenting othe comments and things like that and intermixing between website comments and Fedi comments.

This is basically what Fedi is _not_ made for, what older centralised sites did. No community-building.
