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 the source code at: https://github.com/TeamPiped/lemmy-piped-link-bot

You can find Piped's source code at: https://github.com/TeamPiped/Piped

PS: I'm the author of Piped :P

That's pretty dope dude. Always wanted the same for Twitter -> Nitter links but now I just hope theres gonna be no Twitter links posted

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! :)
