## Description

**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.

**What is Mastodon?**

Mastodon is a distributed, federated social network that forms part of the Fediverse,
an interconnected and decentralized network of independently operated servers.
 
Sources: [Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mastodon_(software))

**How to get started with Mastodon?**

The best way is to visit [https://joinmastodon.org/](https://joinmastodon.org/).
You can also have a look to the [FAQ](https://github.com/tootsuite/documentation/blob/master/Using-Mastodon/FAQ.md)

**How to block comments?**
 Comments are displayed related to the connected account.
That means you have to mute the account with your Mastodon account. In future releases,
this part might be improved.

**Thanks**
