I’m very new to Fediverse. I’ve seen that WriteFreely is a blogging software that has some integration with Mastodon and I decided to try it. However I don’t see any options for readers to comment on posts. Do you know if that feature is enabled already or still not?
You can actually comment using a Mastodon account. Search for the blopost’s URL and it should come up.

it’s possible, but not included by default. see here: https://discuss.write.as/t/adding-comments-to-your-blog/1146
Note that this isn’t integrated into the fediverse in any way. It is basically just slapping any old comment system on top of the post.
I would expect that a proper comment system would allow things such as relying from any old fediverse account.
Look into Plume! That has a bit more of the expectation you would have for a blog with fediverse comments. Also there is a wordpress plugin that works much the same way.
I might try that. Federated commenting would be incredibly useful. Unless you already have a popular blog there’s not a lot of reason for anyone to make an account just to comment.
