GET /api/v1/comments/?relationship_type=follow&relationship_from_profile_id=example-profile-id&comment_board_id=example-board-id

If the relationship_from_profile_id is omitted, it is assumed to be the authenticated profile:

Authorization: Bearer {access-token}

The above will return comments authored by users that the authenticated user follows.
