I imagine it lurking in the shadows, waiting to strike

It’s a thankless job

I blocked it a while ago, so no idea.

It’s still here for me, it could be blocked on your instance

I’ll edit my post if he replies to me

Amén.

Although, I wish it worked on any device I have

It replied to a comment I made just a day or two ago. It’s definitely not gone.

It would be stupid, but very funny if someone created a YouTube bot for Piped links…

They’d get into an endless loop of responding to each other. Just a regular internet conversation then

Like when the reddit lotr bots get stuck in a loop.

Needed one the other day because the post only had the Piped one and Piped never loads for me. When it briefly used to load then it would buffer constantly.

What is the etiquette for posting YT links in this scenario? If the content is from YT I’d prefer to post the canonical link instead of a mirror that may go down or may get hugged to death. If you’d rather view on a mirror I’d suggest you use e.g. LibRedirect. Does this make sense? Are there better ideas? I’d like to promote non-YT frontends but am not sure what the best option here would be.

I would say just post the YT link and let folks do what they want with it. When someone only posts a piped link I don’t bother clicking because they are very unreliable for me and I pay for YouTube so I like to just use it and not deal with the bs.

On Android you can assign alternative apps as a standard app for specific URLs. This works just fine without root etc. via the regular app settings. E.g. in my case YouTube links from everywhere (mail program, browser, lemmy, …) open automatically in the privacy-friendly NewPipe app from F-Droid.

Where have u set this option I can’t find it in settings some time ago I have probably set YouTube as default since I can’t chose a different app …

Couldn’t a client app manipulate the URL from the fetched post content before displaying, even on iOS?

Piped is not a mirror, it’s just like a backdoor access to the original YouTube video.

So if you can access it on YT, you can access it on Piped

So if you can access it on YT, you can access it on Piped

Unless Piped dies

Piped can’t die. It’s just software. Maybe one instance can “die” and go offline for some reason but there are thousands more.

Same for Invidious.

I can’t imagine there’d be any damage to posting two or more links: the YT one, a piped one, an invidious one, etc… All sides of the conversation that matter are covered.

Hot take: Piped API sucks and is a giant waste of resources (unless you’re running your own instance)

It’s a proxy to access YouTube privately. But all the servers are overloaded.

What does that have to do with the API though? You said that the API sucks I’m curious about that part. I understand thinking the public instances suck because they can never keep up and get overloaded but your original comment said that the API itself was bad somehow.

I agree. I’ve had to switch instances so many times, it’s frustrating.

This is the place to be on the interweb when Reddit irreversibly becomes a meme itself and implodes
