If anyone uses sync, there's a setting to hide the PipedLinkBot posts

Settings shortcut: Account settings > Hide PipedLinkBot

Amazing, imagine writing a bot so annoying that app devs put a specific button in their settings to ignore it. Thanks for the tip!

Alternatively, you can think of it as something so popular and important as to deserve a setting, eg. NSFW filter

I don't even understand why the bot exists? If you have newpipe or other yt apps installed, it automatically sends you there when clicking YouTube links. You can do the same within Firefox on PC.

I just blocked the user 🤷

Very cool that you can link settings to an app, though.

Lmao, this was the first opportunity I had to post a link to settings. I got way too excited. I need to get out more I guess

I got excited too when I clicked it and it worked!

What does the UI for a settings page link look like? They just have a share button in settings?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Just long press and it auto copies a link to that setting. Pretty neat

Already done, but thanks for the PSA!
