It should be back now! I’ve migrated it to a new server earlier today since the old one had some issues.

Hi, when you’re playing a video, you can enable “Auto Play next Video” checkbox on the same page below the video description.

Should be fixed, I pushed a fix yesterday! :)

Hey, thanks for the message! I’ve fixed the issue already, which was caused by a regression in one of my changes. To prevent this from happening in the future, I’ve added unit tests for the same. Sorry for the inconvenience caused!

You’re welcome! Thanks for lemmit hehe :)

I haven’t seen any changes from YouTube recently, the ways we fetch age restricted content still seem to work for most videos. However, this method may not work for all videos as YouTube has different levels of age restrictions afaict. I’ve seen very few videos fall under that category personally.

If anything were to change in the future, I may consider implementing something similar to what this extension does (or use their API) in Piped.

Would you like to add feddit.rocks? It’s a lemmy instance run by me :)

Oh, I see! I overlooked that you needed an account on the instance to be able to resolve remote communities.

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.

Peertube and Odysee.

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 :)

EndeavourOS, it’s based on Arch Linux.

Alpine Linux on most of my servers, if want something else for some reason Ubuntu.

You could install it manually on chromium: https://libredirect.github.io/download_chromium.html

Yes, I am :) I’m not a celebrity haha

Forgot about that, just added one! Cheers :)

Nitter is currently broken due to Elon’s draconian rate limits, but it wouldn’t be too hard to fork and add support for it! :)

Yes, especially in India. It’s not a surprise that India is Whatsapp’s biggest market.
