I don't understand why anyone would use piped bot's links at all.

I'm on the boat where I think it's better to use an addon or something to rewrite the URLS in your browser automatically rather than relying on a bot to do it. Firefox has "Redirector" plugin which can rewrite all youtube links to whatever invidious/piped/etc. instance you want.

I think it's for awareness. I'll never forget Piped exists now.

You setup the automatic redirector... You'll forget youtube exists, since it works browser-wide... and will interpret ALL youtube links.

I know, and I use that. But on a IOS device I haven’t found a good way to do this

You can't register urls with apps on IOS?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

No, but there are no apps and iOS is locked down
