Artalk Comments

Purpose

Artalk is a self-hosted comment system with moderation and notification features.

Backend setup

Create or configure the provider backend first. Keep the provider dashboard open while editing the theme configuration so IDs and domains can be copied exactly.

Theme configuration

  enable: true
  use: artalk
  artalk:
