You can create a middleware class and redirect like so:

<?php

namespace App\Http\Middleware;

use Closure;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Auth;

class RedirectToComments
{
    /**
     * Handle an incoming request.
     *
     * @param  \Illuminate\Http\Request  $request
     * @param  \Closure  $next
     * @param  string|null  $guard
     * @return mixed
     */
    public function handle($request, Closure $next, $guard = null)
    {
        if (Auth::check()) {
            return redirect()->route('comments');
        }
        return $next($request);
    }
}

That is the general form of redirection through middleware, simply modify which route to redirect to or add more conditional logic as needed.
