After some searching it looks like Lemmy api info is here https://join-lemmy.org/docs/contributors/04-api.html
Someone also shared an api login script here https://lemmy.world/post/1179663
And a php api with some documentation as well https://github.com/RikudouSage/LemmyApi
Here’s the source code for the reddit for youtube extension https://github.com/Xyl-AU/Reddit-Comments-for-YouTube
I just had a peek at the source code of the plug-in. It's basically already setup to add another service like Lemmy, as it supports Nebula and one other service with the same codebase.
I think it would almost trivial to add Lemmy. I may look into doing it if i get bored and have the time, but not sure when that would be. Have you contacted the git maintainer for that plug-in and asked him to add Lemmy support? He could do it much quicker since he's already familiar with the code and from what I saw, it would be about 30-60 minutes worth of work for someone familiar with the codebase already. I may be grossly underestimating that since I did not do an in depth dive, but from what I can tell it would be pretty simple.
What I would do is:
Add a new variable that lets you configure what Lemmy instance you want to point to
Copy the objects from reddit to a new lemmy object.
Adjust the URL and /r/ to /c/
Might have to fiddle with the User view code a bit
But other than that, everything else code wise should be a drop in replacement from what I can tell.
The developer said they don’t have much time so they’re not sure they can do it for now but they’ll try to when they have free time and that if anyone sends a PR they’ll merge it. https://github.com/Xyl-AU/Reddit-Comments-for-YouTube/issues/2#issuecomment-1811783026
