Quick update, comment section works again!

I haven’t really looked at the reddit since I set it up, it look’s like it’s not working properly. Now it should work.

The problem was my RSS feed, oh my precious feed, Since I messed around with the Jekyll site’s path ,url & baseurl It changed the output of the feed.

The feed was set up something like this:

<link>https://alex-esc.github.io</link>

Meaning it would link to a website made out of the variable site.url followed by the variable post.url vervatium. Problem was that site.url is set to alex-esc.github.io and post url is the name of the post file with a slash, meaning it would create a link like this: alex-esc.github.io//title. Instead of like this: alex-esc.github.io/posts/title

My superb fix was simply adding /posts to the code, take that compsci degree!

<link>https://alex-esc.github.io/posts</link>

Now that the RSS feed is valid and creates the proper links, it should post correctly to the reddit, mastodon, twitter & email thanks to IFTTT.

(this post itself servers as a test for my fix, maybe it works, maybe it docent)
