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.
You can find the source code at: https://github.com/TeamPiped/lemmy-piped-link-bot
You can find Piped’s source code at: https://github.com/TeamPiped/Piped
PS: I’m the author of Piped :P
I don’t really speak github - is there a manual way to go to a YT video, but through Piped? Or is the new url more complicated than that?
You can just change the hostname, for example,
youtube.com
topiped.video
. Alternatively, you could just use something like Libredirect to automatically do it on your browser.
