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.

Peertube and Odysee.

Piped uses the Odysee sync API to find YouTube content already available there, and if so stream it from there. This is also written in the readme on the GitHub :)

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.

I currently host the official instance, which is entirely run by donations. However, there are many community instances people can switch to in the preferences menu on the site. They are listed at https://github.com/TeamPiped/Piped/wiki/Instances

You can just change the hostname, for example, youtube.com to piped.video. Alternatively, you could just use something like Libredirect to automatically do it on your browser.

Unfortunately, yes since for views to be counted, we have to make some tracking requests to YouTube.

I don't think the current Lemmy clients allow hiding bots, but if they really bother you/people that much, it should possible to add options to hide bots altogether.

Here's some that I thought about:

• Wikipub
• Wikihive (A bee mascot)
• Academoo (A cow mascot)
• LinkLynx (A lynx with a magnifying glass maybe?)
• Encyclonet

It's on top near the post, which looks like a clipboard and is just right off the star/favorite button.

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)

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.

Nitter is currently broken due to Elon's draconian rate limits, but it wouldn't be too hard to fork and add support for it! :)

Yes, I am :) I'm not a celebrity haha

Currently, it scans all posts that are federated with my Lemmy instance (feddit.rocks), however, there are very few communities that it is scanning currently as there are very few users who have subscribed to communities on my instance.

If more people register on my Lemmy instance and subscribe to more communities, it will scan those communities as well.

I hope more users register on my instance so it can be listed on https://join-lemmy.org/instances too :) I currently lack the 5 active users requirement for that, unfortunately.

Alternatively, I could maybe add a way for people to get the bot to subscribe to a community, so people from other instances can add communities to be scanned. 🤔 You can now try sending it a message mentioning communities in the format !community@instance.tld and it will try joining it :)

I will say I saw your bot, triple comment on a post.

Is that in error? If so, could you give me a link to that? I could try fixing that then!

It should be back now! I've migrated it to a new server earlier today since the old one had some issues.

You can now try sending it a message mentioning communities in the format !community@instance.tld and it will try joining it :)

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.

Forgot about that, just added one! Cheers :)

You have a similar project for Android called Libretube :) Here's a list of projects that use Piped's API: https://github.com/TeamPiped/Piped#made-with-piped

You could install it manually on chromium: https://libredirect.github.io/download_chromium.html

EndeavourOS, it's based on Arch Linux.

Alpine Linux on most of my servers, if want something else for some reason Ubuntu.

Yes, especially in India. It's not a surprise that India is Whatsapp's biggest market.

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.

(no paywall)

Should be fixed, I pushed a fix yesterday! :)

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!

You could try HF Code Autocomplete VSCode extension. That would allow you to use open-source LLMs like https://github.com/bigcode-project/starcoder.

Would you like to add feddit.rocks? It's a lemmy instance run by me :)
