EDIT: the extension now supports Lemmy comments!

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/ )
Source code: https://github.com/Xyl-AU/Reddit-Comments-for-YouTube
And what good does that accomplish? The person posting the video won’t see them unless they use that extension as well, and why would they bother?
Why would I want to see lemmy comments on a video instead of youtube comments? Because the quality of lemmy comments are way better?
I used to read Playboy for the articles, but I don’t go to YouTube for the comments.
I dont think you’re understanding what the post is about. Try looking at the extension. Its to replace youtube comments with Lemmy comments
I understand that the post is about. I just don’t see the point of this project. I’m content to not see any comments at all on a YouTube video. Whether they come from YouTube itself or Lemmy is irrelevant to me. You don’t seem capable of understanding or accepting that, which isn’t my problem.
