I've finally implemented a Dark Mode for the DinoToyForum and added a toggle so members can easily choose between light and dark. https://dinotoyblog.com/forum/
One of few really active traditional forums still ticking along, the Dinosaur Toy Forum is a friendly open community dedicated to the discussion of dinosaur collectibles, dino pop culture, prehistoric animals, and palaeontology.

@AdamStuartSmith @gay_ornithischians can you send me an example page? what comment widget are you referring to? the likes and shares should not be listed in the classic comment section but only in the new reactions block.
Adam S. Smith
@gay_ornithischians Yeah, the comments widget is kind of being spammed by reaction notifications from the Fediverse. On the admin back end I can filter by comment type, but not on the widget. Worse, the links don't lead to the boosted or liked post anyway, neither locally or on the reactor's feed. I expect it's a bug that will be ironed out soon.
FYI @pfefferle

@AdamStuartSmith i noticed the side widget listing when browsing the site

@gay_ornithischians Interestingly, I see your reposts come up as "comments" on the back end and in the comments widget on the front end. But, 1. they link to a line of code rather than the boosted post url, and 2. only appear in the widget on the front page, not other pages. Could be a bug @pfefferle?

@AdamStuartSmith i see
it's still pretty cool to be able to post to the reviews
do you think it is better to avoid posting to very old reviews? i recently did that and it only occurred to me now that i was necroposting
Adam S. Smith
@gay_ornithischians Not with the forum software I use (SMF). I've looked into this and I think there are more modern forum softwares where it is possible, but I don't think I could ever practically migrate. So, I'm stuck with SMF (which I like, at least), or have to build a new forum from scratch on the Fediverse.

@AdamStuartSmith is posting to the forum from the fediverse something that would be possible?

@AdamStuartSmith @gay_ornithischians 🤔 can you send me the plugin you use or is this part of Gutenberg/the core block editor?
Adam S. Smith
@pfefferle @gay_ornithischians You can see it in the side bar on the front page of https://dinotoyblog.com The widget is a Latest Comments block, see screenshots. Thanks for your support! I just liked (using this mastodon account) a bunch of my federated blog posts to help demonstrate.
