Comments: Add rel="nofollow ugc" attribute to links in comments.

UGC stands for User Generated Content, and the ugc attribute value is recommended for links within user generated content, such as comments and forum posts.

See ​https://webmasters.googleblog.com/2019/09/evolving-nofollow-new-ways-to-identify.html.
