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.

    This reminds me of Dissenter. It let people make comments about any webpage including news articles, YouTube videos, and individual social media posts.

      Oh yeah I had forgotten the name for that extension. I remember loving the concept but the people who developed it were neo nazis iirc and all the comment were either extremely anti semitic or just angry stuff.

      I hope someone makes a similar extension for Lemmy
