So I created an open-source Lemmy bot to reply to posts/comments with YouTube links with converted Piped links to preserve your privacy.

Piped is an open-source alternative privacy-friendly frontend to YouTube. You can watch the same content from YouTube without connecting to Google’s servers.

      I signed up for it sometime last week. Created an account, subbed to about 50 channels and organized them with the categories you can make. Well, unfortunately I guess there was some bug where logging in and viewing trending and feed was happening. Submitted a bug report with details, one other also had the issue, within 2 days they said there was a fix out. Within 14 hours after that I saw the reflected changes! Was able to login to my account again and everything was still there. Been rock solid ever since!

    Just tried Piped for the first time and was sold when I got a page full of actually relevant search results instead of 6 relevant search results and then a bunch of garbage like I get on regular YouTube. Nicely done. 👍

    If Piped is basically a proxy to access YouTube videos, who pays for this proxy (which shouldn’t be cheap)?
