Sadly they killed Piped, and a lot Discord Bots in the Process...
Free tube still works, android app is kinda buggy though.
Piped should be able to work if they implement invidious's workaround. Unfortunately devs don't seem to be active anymore :/
What features aren't working in Piped?
I have a selfhosted Piped instance and use it daily without issue in Firefox and LibreTube on Android.
A lot of instances have been getting these "Sign in to confirm your not a not" messages, if to many people use them at the same time. It works after a while again, but only being able to watch Videos sometimes, when the right stars align properly, is to unreliable for most user, me included.
Ah. Yeah I'm the only one using my instance. Haven't had that issue.
Once piped stops working for me YouTube is dead to me. I had to load up a video at work the other day using the YouTube website and holy crap is it naaty looking these days. Can't use any browser extensions at work so ads and crap everywhere.
