Zorin OS, which was the second distro I ever tried, I hated how outdated their repos were since they were using an older Ubuntu LTS repository for packages. It was quite painful to install software that would otherwise have worked out-of-the-box on Ubuntu. I hope this is no longer the case today.
I try doing something productive, like working on developing a new skill, or work on some of my hobby projects. That prevents me from feeling lonely.
Here’s some that I thought about:
Author of Piped here.
I think it is quite unlikely for YouTube to implement a DRM for watching videos. In anyways, we will keep fighting collaboratively as long as we can.
The most likely way YouTube probably will affect us currently is if they decide to log in wall their platform like how Twitter did.
Would you like to add feddit.rocks? It’s a lemmy instance run by me :)
Oh, I see! I overlooked that you needed an account on the instance to be able to resolve remote communities.
Good to hear that :) Inviting the bot definitely helps it reach more communities, so thanks for that!
Connect is a closed-source application and is hence not on F-Droid. If you wanted to download apps from the play store, you can use Aurora Store btw!
Peertube is based on the Activitypub protocol and can federate with other instances just like Lemmy/Mastodon. Odysee is a decentralized blockchain-based video-sharing platform.
If you’d like to monetize your content, Odysee would be the better option due to its own cryptocurrency for tipping. I personally like Peertube more, as I think it is better moderated against right-wing content.
I would try looking at the JavaScript console for errors, and the network tab for issues with requests. Something seems oddly wrong, unfortunately.
If the Peertube developers find a way to make a way to find the same content there through some metadata, we could support it easily, but currently, there isn’t anything.
There shouldn’t be any, is this on iOS for the setup?
You can find more information at https://feddit.rocks/comment/39147, it tries to look all over Lemmy, but doesn’t have enough communities to scan :/
You can now try sending it a message mentioning communities in the format !community@instance.tld
and it will try joining it :)

Yes, that’s somewhat the point. You can see it in action in this comment. Rather than replace, it allows people to see a Piped link too instead of YouTube one.
Here’s a really cool YouTube video: https://youtu.be/dQw4w9WgXcQ (the bot will reply to this)
Piped can be more privacy friendly in a few cases, as you don’t need an account for subscriptions or playlists.
Here are some differences to Invidious:
I’ll conclude by saying that I was once an Invidious user. I decided to write Piped at a time when Invidious was riddled with extremely odd bugs and performance issues. Some of these issues still persist to this day. I’ve always kept performance a top priority in Piped. I wanted to create a better alternative to YouTube than Invidious for my use case and threat model. I think I have succeeded in that :)
It should be back now! I’ve migrated it to a new server earlier today since the old one had some issues.
