Its go time!

The person who runs PipedLinkBot typing out all the links be like:

man using 3 computers

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

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.

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
- Same. Open source is great and all, but it has to actually fucking work to be useful.
even on small instances like mine, https://piped.seliaste.com ? what browser do you use
- Oh, yours seems to work fine. Maybe it's just the instance the Piped Bot links to.

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

*Edited for exact verbiage

Settings link Settings shortcut: Account settings > Hide PipedLinkBot
- Love how it's so bad it has it's own setting
- would be cooler if their was a settinf tk just re-link all yt links to piped
- This also works on boost.
why would one want to do that (i have no idea what piped bot is)
- Because it’s annoying useless bullshit clogging up comments with links to a service that doesn’t work for shit.

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

!asklemmy@lemmy.ml and ctrl+f music. Stay on your instance, folks.

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.

I fucking hate that bot ngl

Please, it's a very valuable resource to the community
- May if it worked. I haven't had a single piped link work so far. Yeah, bad timing is bad timing but there is a strong implication from my experience that it's effectively down more than it's up.
- Not really, at this point everyone knows about piped. The bot is just annoying
sad piped bot
- good bot bad bot,
  happy bot sad bot :(
- this is really good wtf when did bing use dall•e 3
Just block it, no need to rain on everyone else's parade.
I blocked it ages ago so I don't get notifications every time I post a video.
