A couple of weeks ago, I can across a website that searched sites like Hacker News and Lobste.rs for comments on an article. I thought I bookmarked it, but I can't find it. Does anyone know what I'm talking about?

https://syften.com/ searches for comments, but you have to supply a search term (not URL).

It's returning mostly old posts, and only searches by title.

It actually should be near time, at most some days old posts. You can also lookup by url and search for whole domain or "subfolder", see https://discu.eu/search/
