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 Piped’s source code at: https://github.com/TeamPiped/Piped
PS: I’m the author of Piped :P


I don’t really speak github - is there a manual way to go to a YT video, but through Piped? Or is the new url more complicated than that?
You can just change the hostname, for example,
youtube.comtopiped.video. Alternatively, you could just use something like Libredirect to automatically do it on your browser.
