  Comments display only under posts. If they were to display under posts on your home page, just image how much scrolling-down a potential reader would have to do in order to see your older posts. <IMO>Most people would give up and move on.</IMO>

  You can use a ‘recent posts’ widget so readers can see what others are talking about currently.
  Or you could copy-paste comments of a particular post with a link to that post into a text widget on your sidebar.
