I love the idea of a privacy-focused fronend for YouTube, but every time I visit a piped link, it just spins forever. Both on my Linux desktop and my Android phone.

Maybe I'm doing something wrong?

Here is the latest one I tried and failed to load.

That one loaded fine for me.

Temporary outages are likely the result of the server being unable to handle the load. If youtube changed their system it would take a while for a fix.

Piped is web software anyone can host. Like Lemmy, everyone piles into the biggest instance with most memorable / searchale name, thus overloading it.

Try another instance and see if it solves the issue.
