Edit: The extension now lets you see lemmy comments on any website!
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.
You must log in or register to comment.
Did they change the API fees at Reddit? I thought stuff like that was supposed to be impossible now.
The developer doesn’t use the api, they’re using Reddit’s free JSON endpoint
Never heard of scraping?
This in freetube would be amazing!
Hopefully FreeTube implements the feature https://github.com/FreeTubeApp/FreeTube/issues/4434
They’ve said that they are not going to implement it so not a great news
Seems like it’s not something they want to work on. they might accept a PR though
Nice one!
This would be cool for Invidious too
Neat stuff!
This is amazing, thank you for reaching out to the dev!
This was on the list of ideas for InstanceAssistant, but I didn’t know where to start. It is great news that it was added to the original extension.
Great news!
