Use the <mediaos-comment-feed> component to add a community comment section to any website or news page. It supports real-time conversation, spam filtering, and optional cross-posting to forum groups and newsletters.
What This Component Does #
The <mediaos-comment-feed> component displays an interactive comment section that allows logged-in users to participate in discussions on your site. It functions similarly to a Disqus-style thread or community forum — but it’s built into the MediaOS platform and tightly integrated with your member data, forums, and newsletters.
Key Features: #
The MediaOS commenting feature offers a robust set of tools to enhance reader engagement. Logged-in users can leave comments on articles, pages, or posts, and comments can optionally be synced with MediaOS forum groups for deeper discussion. Built-in AI filtering automatically detects and blocks spam, hate speech, and inappropriate content. Comments also support rich links, including URLs, PDFs, and videos. Admins have the option to include polls within a comment thread, and comments can even be included in newsletter content blocks to extend engagement beyond your site.
Enabling Commenting #
To enable commenting on a page or article, simply embed the component:
<mediaos-comment-feed></mediaos-comment-feed>Note: This component has no props or configuration required on the front-end.
How It Works for Users #
To interact with comments, the user must be logged in. Once logged in, they can post a comment, paste links to external content such as videos, articles, or PDFs, and participate in embedded polls if those have been enabled by an admin. If forum cross-posting is turned on, users will only be able to comment within groups they are members of, ensuring relevant participation.
How It Works for Admins #
Comments are automatically filtered using MediaOS’s built-in AI moderation tools. If your site uses MediaOS forums, comments posted here can be automatically shared into a relevant forum group. Forum group selection is restricted to groups the user belongs to. Comments and forum posts are bi-directionally synced — meaning a reply in one place shows up in the other. Comments from the feed (or forum) can optionally be pulled into the Newsletter Builder, allowing you to highlight user engagement in your email campaigns.
Tip: This is a great way to spark community dialogue around articles and keep discussion going across platforms (web, email, forums).
Advanced Features: #
AI Filtering #
Built-in AI moderation detects and flags spam, hate speech, political misinformation, and other harmful content before it appears in the thread.
Forum Integration #
Admins can configure comment threads to sync with MediaOS forums, encouraging broader participation and sustained conversation.
Polls #
Admins can embed polls into a comment thread. Users can vote and see results in real time, making it a great engagement tool.
Smart Link Detection #
Comments automatically tag and format pasted links — similar to how social media platforms handle URLs.
Best Practices #
For the best results, place the <mediaos-comment-feed> component at the bottom of blog posts, articles, or newsletters to encourage reader discussion. Pairing it with member-only content is a great way to spark deeper engagement among subscribers or paying members. Since the <mediaos-comment-feed> is login-gated, make sure the page either requires login or includes an inline login prompt so users understand how to participate.
