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.

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

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](/c/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:

  • Subscriptions don't necessarily require an account
  • Playlists don't necessarily require an account
  • Piped supports Infinite scrolling
  • Piped supports Webm videos
  • Piped can stream videos from Odysee if the same video is available there.
  • Piped is a lot lighter on the server
  • Piped always proxies your traffic to Google's servers (most Invidious servers don't proxy videos to YouTube by default)
  • Piped has SponsorBlock integrated (DeArrow will be added soon)
  • Piped has ReturnYouTubeDislike support via RYD-Proxy
  • Piped can only be self-hosted on a server. Invidious on the other hand can work fine on local networks.
  • Piped is a lot easier to administer than Invidious as an instance operator.

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 :)

 

So I created an open-source Lemmy bot to reply to posts/comments with YouTube links with converted Piped links to preserve your privacy.

Piped is an open-source alternative privacy-friendly frontend to YouTube. You can watch the same content from YouTube without connecting to Google's servers.

PS: I'm the author of Piped :P

 

So I created a Lemmy bot to
