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

Do the content creators miss out on views bc of this?

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago

Unfortunately, yes since for views to be counted, we have to make some tracking requests to YouTube.

If you ever feel inclined and if it is possible, maybe add a search of odysee to see if the content creator posts there. A lot of what I watch is posted on odysee too.

Piped uses the Odysee sync API to find YouTube content already available there, and if so stream it from there. This is also written in the readme on the GitHub :)

What does it mean to sync with your YouTube channel?
