Adds page comments using a Mastodon post as a source.
Pages will not automatically have comments enabled, so once you publish a page you will need to publish a new post on your Fediverse / Mastodon account, (or with a branded account), on the server configured in the plugin configuration.
When you make a post, include a link to the page, some '#' tags about the content, and ideally a callback to ask for feedback or comments to boost engagement.
The ID will be visible in the URL of the post, ie:
on a post https://social.veraciousnetwork.com/deck/@cdp1337/114594237700425231
the ID is 114594237700425231.
Copy this ID to the newly published page in the Frontmatter and ensure to wrap the ID in quotes (single or double).
