Hi, I would like to request the ability to view Youtube comments and threads. I understand that this may be an invidious limitation, I don't know. But as a user, I enjoy reading comments while watching videos from my playlist. Commenting would be even better, but with invidious I can understand why this may not be possible.
Git commit 9541fa0e3eea2f847d947fca8a2d014a9d9ce520 by Joshua Goins. Committed on 17/10/2023 at 23:42. Pushed by redstrate into branch 'master'. Add basic support for viewing comments This adds the ability to view some information about comments (author, avatar and content) and threading is not yet supported.

I implemented some basic comment support now, which can be expanded later on. Expect this to land in the next release (23.12). Commenting however, is never going to be supported as it's an invidious limitation :-( The best we can do, is linking back to the original comment on YouTube like Invidious does so you can comment there.
