I did send a donation, but I want to make sure the people involved know I appreciates them.

I set up an instance and have been using it along with a couple friends. It's fast, private and doesn't have a bunch of algo bullshit wasting our time. I have my subs and I watch them, and then I go and touch grass because I'm not sitting there watching trash that is being pushed at me on the feed.

It's like a breath of fresh air.

Has anyone tried to access #Piped from a public library? It’s a web-based front-end that requires no client-side installation, correct?

I keep encountering libraries that block Invidious.

It probably depends on if they've blocked the URL. You can set up your own instance and there's various public instances you can try if the main piped.Kavin.rocks one is blocked. It's all browser based so it shouldn't need any sort of clientside additions.

Running my own instance is a non-starter because it’s my own bandwidth limitations that bring me to the library to begin with. I think kavin.rocks blocks the library. But other piped instances might be worth a look. Though if it works it probably won’t work for long before the library shuts them down too.
