There are browser extensions like Reddit Check or What Hacker News Says which will show Reddit and/or HN comments on any website you visit. So it's very similar in functionality. Sometimes it can be useful.

There are more variants of these extensions.

Piggybacking on existing communities for this feels very practical vs trying to bootstrap something from scratch.

(Particularly as it pertains to moderation, spam control, and so on)
