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.
It used to be the case that YouTube comments were one of the lowest forms of communication known to mankind. It isn't anymore, not for several years now. There actually are sometimes some intelligent insights displayed prominently there. I suppose they probably changed their algorithm somehow.
facebook takes the cake now. just trying to talk about the fallout tv show is torture. so many people complain its woke for having a woman protagonist
Facebook is only really useful for really small niche communities where most posts don't get more than a handful of comments.
Ha ha no. Go search for videos about space or Antarctica or JFK etc etc. The comments are full of schizos.
