    I’ve considered comment.io on a number of occasions, but I can’t seem to find a way of migrating WordPress comments (of which I have hundreds). Clicking on the support link just shows a DCO to sign and leads nowhere.

    Without the ability to migrate from services like WP, I think they’re missing a large portion of the market. Is it actually possible to migrate from WP to Comment.io? If so, where is it documented?

      I understand that it’s a fairly sizable portion of the market, but Wordpress import isn’t possible at the moment. I’ll look into implementing (unless someone else gets there first with a merge request :)).

      Quick question: your Wordpress export is a WXR file, right?

      P.S. Sorry about the support link; I’ll just change that to an email address for now. I’ve searched everywhere for a decent, lightweight support ticketing system that I can self-host and doesn’t look like it’s from the mid-90s, but I can’t find anything.

    For those interested in Disqus alternatives, I recently switched by static blog (running on hugo) to utterances

    Like Commento it has no ads, no tracking.

    The bonus of utterances is that, all comments are stored on your repo as a GitHub issue.

    It would be interesting to see how these two compare.

    Hiya, creator here. So two years ago, I released Commento as self-hosted software and the project received fantastic feedback. But the single most requested feature was a hosted service because it’s not always convenient to maintain a server. Plus, it’ll never be a proper alternative to Disqus unless there’s a hosted version.

    So since then I’ve been working on building a hosted version. I’ve received some great feedback from seasoned bloggers who are now using the service and this has helped the the project mature so much over this period. I’m really happy to finally announce the public release of the hosted version (it’s been in private beta for a few months now)!

    Anyway, AMA!
