Any developers interested in making a Lemmy Comments extension for youtube videos? (lemm.ee)

The worst part of youtube is the terrible comments so i use this extension to see reddit comments under youtube videos. It would be great to have a similar extension for Lemmy comments to appear on youtube videos.

the extension would be even more interesting if it could work on any link on the web, allowing you to fetch lemmy threads with that url

It would be an appreciable challenge because the plugin would have to know what server and account to post the comments to. That much said, I think it is a fine idea. On one side of the coin, I'd rather get people over to PeerTube and build that platform up rather than help Google get more un-needed revenue.

You could give it multiple instances/accounts and it would search between the instances for the one with the most comments.

Yeah! Thats how the reddit extension works across different subreddits that have used the links.

You could also list the comments by upvotes across instances. With the instance name by the username. So you can see all comments from all instances and communities
