Piped

So I considering switching to Piped, but I'm wondering if the views (or other metrics) are counted on Youtube itself. I don't like the idea I'm kinda "robbing" the content creators I enjoy...

I think I know the answer but would like to know for sure.

Hello,

I would like to self host either on my machine, or on a raspberry pi. I don't absolutely need to access it from outside my network, but it would be a plus. I have read this page: https://docs.piped.video/docs/self-hosting/ , but I'm a bit lost on how to set up hostnames. Maybe I can use something like DuckDNS: https://www.duckdns.org/

Is there any hope for us to be able to play videos again? It’s been months now, and as far as I can tell, the service has been off-line more than it has been online, no matter which instance I use.

Everyting in the title.

The Piped link bot is getting really annoying with spamming links to an overloaded instance that doesn't even work most of the time. None of the links it spits out ever load. Please fix your server before spamming Lemmy.

like the best known, safe or fast

THANKS

(other than piped.kavin.rocks this is the main one and everyone knows these are reliable)

Hi there! Can't figure out why in specific instances (servers), my subscriptions are not always fetched completely? I have quite few of them that are not appearing at all on me feed. This does not happen on the kavin ones.

Cheers !

I'm logged in, whenever I try to create a playlist it lets me type the name, then when I click "OK", the box just hoes away and nothing else happens.

Due to difficulties I had installing Piped, an alternative frontend for Youtube, I decided to improve and document the process in a better way. In the end, I pretty much redid the whole thing, leaving almost no stone un-turned. You can test my installer from my repo and post any comments and doubts here.

The bot was added to my community, [email protected], without my permission and it violates lemmy.world rules as the maintainer account is not listed in the bio. Furthermore, bots can't be added to communities without permission from the moderators on lemmy.world. From this bot's account history it appears it has been very busy posting in a variety of communities. I think this bot is really interesting, but you should know that these actions will likely result in the bot being banned from many communities that could benefit from it, or even from entire instances.

Additionally, looking at the GitHub code, it appears that communities can be added but not removed from the list, meaning that the only way to remove the bot from my community is to ban it outright.

Whoever the maintainer of the bot is, please message me here or DM me so that we can talk about this further.

We now have support for DeArrow in Piped! You can enable it on the preferences page.

DeArrow is an extension that allows for video titles and thumbnails to be crowdsourced for better accuracy and less clickbait.

YouTube has recently introduced features to let creators A/B test video titles/thumbnails to measure the impact on viewership. DeArrow is a great way to take back control of what you watch.

Started using Piped a few days ago. Worked like a charm... Then stopped. Now it's all sluggish and videos and stuff won't load. Didn't know where to look for updates on like, server troubles or whatever. Switched back to invidious for now, but still Piped is cooler?

I started using Piped a few days ago and it's great in so many ways. But I keep getting Jordan Peterson videos in my feed still. Is there a setting that lets you block or filter suggestions you don't want?

Welcome to the first post on the Piped community on Lemmy!
