There's no perfect way to do "Comment with Mastodon" for external websites, because #Mastodon is not meant for this.
Mastodon is designed to be a social media, not a universal login. The servers are meant to save posts, not comments.
#ActivityPub is not designed to have one universal ID for the whole #fediverse, but more like an ID for each app you use (Mastodon, Pixelfeld, Lemmy, etc.). The ID and the application layers are not separated.
Would separating them be a good idea?
