EDIT: the extension now supports Lemmy comments!

https://lemmy.world/post/9401361

Youtube comments are historically terrible so this Reddit comment for YouTube is a great extension to never have to read YouTube comments. I no longer use Reddit though and would love to have a similar extension using Lemmy comments that also work on piped/invidious and maybe be compatible with any website/link

Do you think this could be crowdsourced as a collaboration by the Lemmy community to make this an AGPL extension? If so how do we get started? (Idk how to code)

(The extension in the picture is an extension that adds Reddit Comments under a youtube video https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/reddit-comments-for-youtube/ )

    How is this any different from using your favorite Lemmy client and simply watching whatever Piped, etc. vid within it?

    Also, I second the “learn to code” sentiment. Otherwise, what exactly are you bringing to the table? Cash?

      When you’re on YouTube/piped it automatically embeds the comments under the description. I think it’s obvious why that’s better than manually searching all of lemmy for each thread that has the same link

        Kinda ignoring the important statement/question…

          Because I don’t have time to learn to code. I can donate some money
