There are a number of commenting solutions that work with SSGs. Two in particular which may appeal to the HN crowd are Utterances[0] and the more recent giscus, each of which uses GitHub services (GitHub Issues and GitHub Discussions, respectively). Assuming your commenters don't have a problem with having to log into GitHub to say something, either of these will work. I've also written in the past[2] about some other SSG-friendly possibilities.

Shameless plug: I built Cactus Comments (https://cactus.chat/).
It's an open-source comment system federated on the Matrix (https://matrix.org/) network. This means you can use your Matrix identity to comment on any site that uses Cactus, without the tracking of something like disqus. Works well with static site generators too.
