Giscus comments not showing up on website

al-folio version: v0.14.6

I am trying to add Giscus comments to my post. When I try to comment, the Giscus App seems to create a new discussion properly, but the comment is not displayed on my website.

To be honest, I never thought about using a different repository other than the one where the site is created. Not sure if it works (and it is supposed to work) that way. What I mean is, usually you would use your repo: andrew-yoo/andrew-yoo.github.io in your case.

I changed the repository, and now it seems to work. Thanks for your help!
