[YSK] There is a Firefox extension that redirects Youtube videos to Peertube

Now…if only peer tube worked well.

I just said fuck it and run my own private invidious instance, it's been much more stable and reliable than any of the public instances

You might be mixing up PeerTube with Piped here (and so might the person you're replying to; I don't know of PeerTube being unreliable very often).

PeerTube is an entirely separate video hosting platform and part of the Fediverse. It's not just a YouTube frontend.

What's the cost? I'm talking both hosting and time spent maintaining it and any other hidden costs you may have encountered.

My home instance runs on truenas sff box next to a dozen other services, footprint is barely noticable but quality is limited by my upload bandwidth. Plays nice with cloudflare tunnels and reverse proxy for access anywhere. The truecharts plugin was touchy so I deployed my own from the docker:latest and it hasn't needed maintenance other than updates in six months.

now we need a lemmy bot that replies with youtube links when it detects peertube, to prank that piped-bot

I'd be willing to bet the bot only replies to a certain depth of comments on non bot accounts.
