Oh, I didn’t know about the bot. So I guess that’s Piped (https://github.com/TeamPiped/Piped) which is a frontend like invidious (https://github.com/iv-org/invidious) and usually when it doesn’t work switching instance should do the job.

Newpipe is a different project: https://newpipe.net/

On desktop you can also use FreeTube: https://freetubeapp.io/

I’m confused about “new pipe links”.

Newpipe is an app. Do you have trouble setting it as a default app for youtube links?

I’m using SmartTube on my TvBox and live in fear it will stop working xD

There’s also a component for foobar2000 (yes, I’m GenX) called Youtube Source. You can search content, add results to foobar playlists and see the video (embedded in the skin or on a different window). Sometimes the video doesn’t load but restarting foobar it’s usually enough.

That works for lemmy but it doesn’t seem to be available on kbin yet.

Uh… that’s unfortunate because many will just interpret it as federation being bad and will go back to reddit preaching against fedi.

That being said it could also be a reason for admins to have conversations about how to deal with these migrations and which moderation tools they need.
