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 Piped’s source code at: https://github.com/TeamPiped/Piped
PS: I’m the author of Piped :P

I haven’t seen this in action yet, sounds cool. Is there a sample link or something?
The post right above this one in my feed just happened to be one, so here you go
This is awesome! I hope this enables Lemmy app devs to add an option to show videos in a popup instead of having to load YT. That will significantly improve the UX IMO.
Here’s another example in a cross-post: https://dandroid.app/comment/122860
Woah I hope they develop their own YouTube suggestion algorithm. That would get a ton of people to come over
doubt it, given that one of its selling points is the lack of tracking.
