Can a way to access a sub's comments from a harvest be added?

[mz2212]

What I had in mind:

harvest, _ := bot.Listing("/r/bottesting", "")
for _, comment := range harvest.Comments[:30] {
  // Do stuff with comment.Body
}

What you currently have to do to access them doesn't work exactly. (Or at least I can't figure it out. I'm not sure if I'm doing it wrong.)

// At least in my testing, this doesn't work.
harvest, _ := bot.Listing("/r/bottesting", "")
for _, post := range harvest.Posts[:5] {
  for _, reply := range post.Replies[:5] {
    // Do stuff with reply.Body
  }
}

You can already do this! Harvests from listings just return the content at the endpoint. For a subreddit, the endpoint only offers posts. See the comment endpoint.

harvest, _ := bot.Listing("/r/bottesting/comments", "")
for _, comment := range harvest.Comments[:30] {
  // process comments
}

These comments will be flat and in reverse chronological order; if you want the tree structure of comments you'll need to use the post harvest and then request each thread individually to get the comment trees.

Also note that the posts from "/r/subreddit" endpoints in harvests do not contain their replies, as that data isn't part of the listing. You would need to call Thread() to get the replies.
