I really enjoyed piped but it shuting down often nowaday so I use Invidious now

We need a bot to every frontend it will be fun

[–] Diabolo96@lemmy.dbzer0.com 38 points 1 year ago

Converting a youtube link to any alternative front-end is as i remember correctly as easy as changing the youtube.com part to whatever the front-end link is. I think pipedbot should use the open source link redirection service called farside. It take care of automatic redirection when a front-end is momentarily dead and also do some load balancing by redirecting between multiple self-hosted front-ends so as to not Hug a single one to death while others get barely any use.

Ironic, back when Pipeedwas first made it was the alternative that worked most of the time compared to the at the time flimsy Invidious.

I can't get Piped to work. It's probably one of my blockers or something but I just get a blank page with an endless turning circle in the middle.

[–] tdawg@lemmy.world 17 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I don't use any blockers and it doesn't work for me either. Honestly it might just be getting too much traffic to handle

[–] samus12345@lemmy.world 11 points 1 year ago

Same. Open source is great and all, but it has to actually fucking work to be useful.

[–] seliaste@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

even on small instances like mine, https://piped.seliaste.com ? what browser do you use

[–] OutlierBlue@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Oh, yours seems to work fine. Maybe it's just the instance the Piped Bot links to.

[–] seliaste@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 1 year ago

yeah that one is overloaded, feel free to use mine tho

On Sync for Lemmy you can have piped bots ~~"invisible"~~ "hidden". I know this is not something novel, just a PSA for Sync users!

Love how it's so bad it has it's own setting

[–] jackpot@lemmy.ml 6 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

would be cooler if their was a settinf tk just re-link all yt links to piped

[–] Resistentialism@feddit.uk 2 points 1 year ago

This also works on boost.

[–] gio1135@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

why would one want to do that (i have no idea what piped bot is)

[–] Waraugh@lemmy.dbzer0.com 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Because it’s annoying useless bullshit clogging up comments with links to a service that doesn’t work for shit.

[–] gio1135@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

still don't know what piped bot is but i turned on the setting

[–] Waraugh@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Oh, it’s a bot that responds to comments that have a YouTube link. The response contains an alternative link to a nonfunctional service called piped.

[–] rockSlayer@lemmy.world 20 points 1 year ago (1 children)

link for the curious. There's some decent music in the thread

[–] Etterra@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

Only the funniest one ever: Radioactive by Imagine Dragons. Don't get me wrong, I love Weird Al, but the video for Radioactive is like something from the best fever dream ever.
