You're viewing a single thread.
Just use a different instance. Alternatively you can use peertube
"just do this or that."
while I appreciate the attempt to help and provide options, I think your reply largely misses the point of discussing this. Google is going to keep shutting down those options until there aren't any left, just like Reddit with Libreddit / Safereddit.
There’s also not much people can do besides trying these work arounds and trying alternative options. YouTube has been the biggest video host for a decade for a reason, so a true alternative will take time.
Well both of those reddit alternative frontends used the api. Piped scrapes the pages and gets the stream url, similar to teddit, which still works.
What happened with Libreddit? My instance is still humming along same as it ever was.
libreddit still works, it just gets heavily rate-limited at the moment, so public instances are usually not working
