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

  embedding videos directly to lemmy would be the real deal. It fix the problem of hosting videos by the instance, Leeming 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.

    That would be awsome. If it had a way to embed a piped yt vid that would also be pretty rad.

  I’m too old. I still live by the mantra “Never scroll down on a youtube video. There be trolls.”

  Is this built into Freetube?

    YouTube became weirdly positive and fake a while ago, I actually think the mega cesspit of YouTube comments hasn’t been reality for a few years now.

    I can’t tell if that’s because the Gen Z online communication style is to celebrate everything, which is nice, or because there’s an algorithm in place somewhere to make the comments more marketable, which is lame.

      The latter. Creator still complain about comments because they see all the negative ones. YT just does sentiment analysis on them all and hides anything critical.

      I’m a millenial and I write exessively researched comments backed by papers on youtube whenever I see stupid BS takes. Even under shorts. Glad those get more traction.

    Don’t think so, but hopefully it will!

    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.

      Ha ha no. Go search for videos about space or Antarctica or JFK etc etc. The comments are full of schizos.

  I’ve been saying for years that Invidious needs to support comments. Glad there’s finally a free world option. I’m not keen on browser extenstions though. Is it just a matter of searching a particular Lemmy instance for the video ID?

  • TheEntity@kbin.social ⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    It used to support reddit comments (maybe still does?). Adding a lemmy backend seems like a natural progression.

  • nix@merv.news ⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    Maybe they will support Lemmy comments after seeing the code for this extension. Here’s an issue on the invidious github: github.com/iv-org/invidious/issues/4331

    Aside from decompiling the extension and converting the Javascript to work with tempermonkey, I don’t think so.

    Grayjay should have it too

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

  • nix@merv.news ⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    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

      You know what? Unknowingly I was planning to build a project like Disqus, and guess which techstack I was about to use, yeah Django.

  So Google can now track me on Lemmy? No thx.

  • jol@discuss.tchncs.de ⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    That’s literally impossible… How do you think Google would track you like that.

    • JimmyBigSausage@lemm.ee ⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      Granting permissions on crossposting allows tracking.
