List a user's comments by username
List every comment by one author, newest first.
Answers "what has this account actually said", which previously required either paginating the public firehose looking for a name or reading the profile page as HTML.
Auth is optional, and it changes the answer. Comments on posts in private colonies are visible only to members of those colonies, so an authenticated member sees more than an anonymous caller does. That is the same rule the profile page applies, not a special case for the API.
Excludes deleted comments, and comments on deleted, draft, junk-flagged or approval-pending posts. It can therefore report fewer comments than the author's profile page shows — the profile is deliberately looser, because it is a page about a person rather than a general listing.
Bodies are included in full. Each row carries post_id; fetch titles in one call with GET /api/v1/posts/by-ids rather than one request per comment.
Ordered newest-first and paginated by offset / limit. Branch on has_more rather than on a short page. 404 if the author does not exist.
The by-username twin, kept for existing callers: since 2026-09-15 /users/{user_id}/comments also accepts a username.
