Lemmy Comments for YouTube is now available! : technology

[-] Diabolo96@lemmy.dbzer0.com 55 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

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

embedding videos directly to lemmy via peertube would be the real deal. It fix the problem of hosting videos by the instance, Leemings get videos and peertube get users and viewers. It's a win win.

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

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.

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?

[-] Khrux@ttrpg.network 9 points 11 months ago

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.

[-] wewbull@feddit.uk 6 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

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

[-] boomzilla@programming.dev 1 points 11 months ago

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.

[-] LunchEnjoyer@lemmy.world 7 points 11 months ago

Don't think so, but hopefully it will!

[-] schnurrito@discuss.tchncs.de 5 points 11 months ago

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

[-] schnurrito@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 11 months ago

Facebook is only really useful for really small niche communities where most posts don't get more than a handful of comments.

[-] Chickenstalker@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago

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

[-] ciferecaNinjo@fedia.io 24 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

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 extensions though. Is there a manual way? Is it a matter of searching a particular Lemmy instance for the video ID?

[-] TheEntity@kbin.social 10 points 11 months ago

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

[-] Diabolo96@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 11 months ago

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

[-] nix@merv.news 3 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

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

[-] Mubelotix@jlai.lu 1 points 11 months ago

Grayjay should have it too

[-] Ashyr@sh.itjust.works 24 points 11 months ago

Hey, that's my comment! I'm a celebrity now!

Very cool. How can I haz?

[-] khannie@lemmy.world 8 points 11 months ago

Nice! This is a really cool little plugin. Definitely will be grabbing it in the morning.

[-] hal_5700X@lemmy.world 8 points 11 months ago

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 9 points 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

[-] alexdeathway@programming.dev 6 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

That's just genius like you can build an entire interactive ecosystem that way.

Is this can be a violation of any kind of term and condition?

!remindme 2 months

[-] CrowAirbrush@lemm.ee 6 points 11 months ago

What is that video xD Dutch oven wth kind of nickname is that for a battlebot man i'm dead

[-] lazycouchpotato@lemmy.world 5 points 11 months ago

Thank you for sharing, and thanks to the dev for porting it to Lemmy ❤️ 💚

Greatly appreciate everyone's efforts.

[-] Jake_Farm@sopuli.xyz 3 points 11 months ago

Didn't gab do something like this a while back?

[-] hal_5700X@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago

Yeah, it was called Dissenter.

[-] WaterWaiver@aussie.zone 1 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

I've put my lemmy instance url into the addon, but now it's asking for my lemmy username and password. Is that mandatory? I have not seen any lemmy comments on youtube videos yet so possibly?

[-] nix@merv.news 2 points 11 months ago

Yes, it does work without logging in I just tested it :)

[-] WaterWaiver@aussie.zone 1 points 11 months ago

Ty Nix.

[+] JimmyBigSausage@lemm.ee -11 points 11 months ago

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

[-] jol@discuss.tchncs.de 20 points 11 months ago

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

[+] JimmyBigSausage@lemm.ee -6 points 11 months ago

Granting permissions on crossposting allows tracking.

[-] gaylord_fartmaster@lemmy.world 10 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

Are you under the impression that you're commenting with your Google account or something? That's not what's happening at all.

[-] JimmyBigSausage@lemm.ee -2 points 11 months ago

Any comment on a Google platform reqs a login or identifier.

[-] Monomate@lemm.ee 14 points 11 months ago

What's being proposed is that the extension would modify the page to add a Lemmy frame for commenting. This frame is autonomous in the sense the user must provide his Lemmy login information for it to work, which is different from Google login information. Google is not even aware the page is being modified by an external comment section, and even if it could detect it, it wouldn't be able to track individual users.

[-] ominouslemon@lemm.ee 2 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

You're not commenting on Google, but on Lemmy

[-] jol@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 11 months ago

There's no connection to Google whatsoever. You are commenting on Lemmy with your Lemmy account. Google has no way to control or track you.
