Baffling
Nobody here has suggested switching to Invidious, we’re suppose to be promoting open source alternatives!
Man 90% of Invidious instances are dead/not working for me, and of the few that do, they get mad at me for using an agent switcher (which I turn off but still). Freetube is slightly better, but will also break every few days and either require VPN switching or waiting for a fix from the devs.
Sidenote: LibRedirect users, are all LibReddit instances dead or is it just me?
This one always works for me,awesome instance.
Other alternatives are FreeTube, NewPipe or GrayJay. Personally I use FreeTube the most.
Yeah, nadeko is one of the few that works, but like I said, they get mad at me for using Chameleon.
While true, Invidious instances were dropping like flies due to the amount of maintenance needed to keep it alive, Invidious admins shouldn’t be flagging you for using a user agent switcher.
I’m not sure of your nationality however, if you’re looking for an invidious instance I host one for folks with Canadian IP’s at https://inv.halstead.host/
If I’m not mistaken Freetube can either use Invidious instances to proxy video playback or directly connect to YouTube servers, have you verified neither of these work?
Libreddit died when Reddit made the APi change a couple years back, RedLib which is a fork is maintained.
I also host a Redlib instance at https://lib.halstead.host/ again geo-restricted to Canadian IP’s.
Originally, I was confused why people were saying that Libreddit is dead, cause I thought I was using it up until about a month ago, but now I realize I was using RedLib. I'm not sure why, but recently LibRedirect defaulted to Libreddit instances and I was dumb and didn't check which service I was using, so I thought all Reddit proxies were dead. Thank you for helping me to notice this difference! I can finally stop having to go to the actual Reddit page 🥹
I can totally verify that it's restricted to Canada, had to switch VPN location to access the site. I'll keep geo-restricting in mind if a sever supposedly won't let me connect.
Glad to hear I could help you out!
~~I did a little tinkering with my server and it should be globally accessible for now, I do want to keep this server some-what restricted so this may change, I got Anubis setup as the captcha/bot check. Hope it makes accessing it easier.~~
I found a security flaw in the setup I had, unfortunately had to revert to my previous setup.
Invidious instance I use that has never caused me problems: https://invidious.f5.si/feed/popular
as far as libreddit...yeah it can be hit or miss. safereddit.com is generally pretty decent and hasn't gone down too much, only issue I have with that is videos are very slow to play if at all.
I've always found Freetube to be the best, most reliable alternative by far. It does break occasionally though which is disappointing, but I would assume that's due to YouTube fighting hard to keep people on their own platform.
