@mcc@mastodon.social on the plus side this implies he’d be able to search your posts so you’re fine i guess?

@mcc@mastodon.social only slightly more useless suggestion: the one and only one advantage static site generators have here (because you’re still going to debugging it breaking every twelve months) is at least your posts are all in flat files and you don’t have to worry about losing the original source

@phillmv@hachyderm.io I have a static site generator blog, but the problem is my old posts on the wordpress blog are still locked in wordpress, and I don't want to just delete them. I am not aware of any wordpress->ssg migration tool which allows preservation of comments.

@mcc@mastodon.social yeah unfortunately β€œcomments on an SSG thing” usually means β€œyou have to find something else for comments”. I’m pretty satisfied with Comentario (https://gitlab.com/comentario/comentario) (I run my own instance) and when I helped @nex3@mastodon.social set it up for her blog she managed to re-import her old comments from another system to it but it definitely was a bit hacky. But it worked.
