Giscus Sign in with Github scroll to comment section

[digitaldirk]

When signing in with Github to leave a comment the page resets the scroll position - possible to retain scroll position or re-scroll to comments again?

I was in the midst of writing a "hack" and then read the docs :D
So apparantely there is a solution: https://github.com/giscus/giscus/blob/main/ADVANCED-USAGE.md#giscusbacklink

There is a giscus:backlink property - we can have an anchor on the comments and have the full current url and the anchor as backlink. That will do the trick

Thank you! I was thinking going the "hack" route too 😅
