    Do you mean for sharing links on Lemmy/the Fediverse? There was discussion around this a while back and in the end the consensus was that it was most useful to just use the direct YouTube link as the primary, then optionally include a link to an alternative front-end. That way it was easier for people to use their own preferred front-end, and it avoided a problem we were sometimes running into where enough people would try watching a link at the same time that it would overwhelm the alternative.
