Show parent comments of Reddit user rss feed in Reddit bridge

[giantoppai]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. The Reddit bridge allows a user feed to be generated with options like comments, minimal score, and section (hot, new, and top). But the feed would just show the reddit user's comments without context with what they are replying to.

Describe the solution you'd like An option where parent comments are included in the feed when the user is replying to someone.

Example:

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua.

Replying to /u/redditor1: Ut enim ad minim veniam, quis nostrud exercitation ullamco laboris nisi ut aliquip ex ea commodo consequat.

Describe alternatives you've considered A clear and concise description of any alternative solutions or features you've considered. An alternative solution would be to link to the parent comment.

Additional context @dawidsowa is the maintainer of the Reddit bridge.

JSON that is used to generate RSS feed doesn't have in it text of the parent comment, nor even username of it's author, so it's not possible to get it without making additional requests. One for each comment.

But link to the parent comment would be trivial to implement. I don't think there would be any harm in adding it by default.

I found https://github.com/RSS-Bridge/rss-bridge/issues/2770 while researching this. Let's not introduce additional network calls. A link is fine.
