edit: The extension bow allows you to see Lemmy comments on any website on the web! As long as there is a Lemmy thread with the same URL as the website one you’re on when you click the extension a popup will appear displaying Lemmy threads and comments which you can vote and reply to!

A couple weeks ago I reached out to the dev that makes the Reddit Comments for Youtube extension and asked him to enable support for Lemmy. The developer was already rewriting the extension and decided to implement Lemmy support as well! Here’s the GitHub and FireFox links. It also available for Chrome iirc.

The comments appear after you select an instance in the extension’s menu on any youtube video that has been posted to any Lemmy instance with a full url without a timecode. Invidious links and Lemmy comments on invidious instances still aren’t supported but since its supported by the Reddit comments it should be possible if someone submits a PR.

    I rarely ever comment on YouTube but this is a nice addition.

    embedding videos directly to lemmy via peertube would be the real deal. It fix the problem of hosting videos by the instance, Leemings get videos and peertube get users and viewers. It’s a win win.

      The biggest thing I’m looking forward to in the fediverse is integration like this, I’m not tech savvy enough to know if it’s viable but open source software that’s designed to communicate with other instances feels like a perfect place for things like this to develop.

      Ikeeo seeing things on Peertube, Lemmy and Masterdon that would suit integration with eachother, particularly when it comes to showing the Lemmy comment system under other parts of the fediverse.
