I haven't read the code, but I would expect that it would not crash but just queue up a lot of work and proceed through it steadily.

So it could essentially be locked if too many links are constantly posted - but then the creator could just give it more resources to catch up with the queue. In addition to this, the link conversion is ridiculously simple as it's just appending the video id to a piped-link (no complex calculation or API requests required). So it doesn't even need a lot of resources to begin with.
Yes but please don't.
With how simple its job is, I imagine something else would likely break first.
It doesn't convert anything really, it only builds a link and posts it.
What is pipedbot?

Here is an alternative Piped link(s):
https://www.piped.video/watch?v=bfpPArfDTGw
Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.
I'm open-source; check me out at GitHub.
Oh, a Lemmy bot that gives an alternative YouTube link. Thanks for clarifying.
