It’s a thankless job
It would be stupid, but very funny if someone created a YouTube bot for Piped links…
It’s still here for me, it could be blocked on your instance
I’ll edit my post if he replies to me
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.
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?
So if you can access it on YT, you can access it on Piped
Unless Piped dies
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.
