Edit: In my experience Piped or Invidious gets rate limited often and stop loading videos for a while and I need to change instances. Freetube doesn’t have that problem, the only times videos stop working is when youtube changes something, when that happens I use Freetube to grab the video link and run a script to download with yt-dl and watch on the mpv player.
script that I grabbed on the internet
#!/usr/bin/env bash # Directory for downloaded videos: DL_DIR=“$HOME/Downloads/yt” mkdir -p $DL_DIR # Video player: #PLAYER=“xdg-open” PLAYER=“/usr/bin/mpv” #PLAYER=“/usr/bin/smplayer” # Downloader and options: YTDL=“/bin/yt-dlp” YTDL_OPTS=(–no-playlist -S “res:1080” -N 5 --add-chapters) YTDL_DIR_OPTS=(-P “$DL_DIR”) set -e CMD() { printf “[CMD]: " printf “\”%s\” " “$@” printf “\n” “$@” } # Get URL from clipboard if run without argument: if [ -z “$1” ]; then URL=“$(xclip -o -sel c)” # CMD qdbus org.kde.klipper /klipper org.kde.klipper.klipper.clearClipboardHistory else URL=“$1” fi # Get video filename printf “[URL]: %s\n” “$URL” FILENAME=$(“$YTDL” --get-filename “${YTDL_DIR_OPTS[@]}” “$URL”) printf “[FILE]: %s\n” “$FILENAME” # Download video CMD “$YTDL” “${YTDL_OPTS[@]}” “${YTDL_DIR_OPTS[@]}” “$URL” # Play video CMD “$PLAYER” “$FILENAME” >/dev/null 2>&1
I also configured a cronjob to clean the directory everyday.
Yea that’s the thing I’m more looking for. If I want to share a video with someone, I don’t want to have to send them an app to download first, I want to redirect to a private site in a browser that they can then choose to use how they wish.
Got it. In this case yeah Freetube is not a solution, the person would need to download Freetube and install Libredirect on the browser(wich means on mobile the person need to use firefox).
Honestly the instance that worked better for me with better uptime is inv.nadeko.net
Broken link, you redirect to the far-right site “Rumble.” Tankie.Tube is also a peertube instance, I’m looking for private frontends for YouTube that function like XCancel does so I don’t have to worry about trackers. I’ve seen piped, invidious, etc, wondering which is best.
As a side-note, tankie.tube doesn’t have an auto-block as far as I know, it’s more just a space for communists to share communist media.

Kinda, in the same way “commie” and “pinko” are pejoratives for communists like “tankie” is. It’s just a way for anti-communists to hurl insults towards communists, and some communists have now jokingly begun referring to themselved as tankies as a response. It’s meaningless beyond the fact that it’s a pejorative.
If liberals genuinely want to understand and confront the rise of the far right, then rather than smearing the left they should perhaps reflect on their own faults.
Non plus ultra: Download the video and then upload to whichever PeerTube instance you use. At least if you’re confident enough that this won’t cause you legal trouble (e.g. cases like “fair use” should be safe).
FreeTube has a neat function to download comfortably (but make sure to pick an option with both audio and video).
Do you mean for sharing links on Lemmy/the Fediverse? There was discussion around this a while back and in the end the consensus was that it was most useful to just use the direct YouTube link as the primary, then optionally include a link to an alternative front-end. That way it was easier for people to use their own preferred front-end, and it avoided a problem we were sometimes running into where enough people would try watching a link at the same time that it would overwhelm the alternative.

Perfect! That’s much better for my specific use-case here, thanks!
Libredirect extension has the option to open links on Freetube
I use TankTube because it automatically blocks anything that interferes with my agenda

Communists are far-left, and are the polar opposite of the far-right, what’s right-wing isn’t determined soley by whoever you personally dislike.
So you’re saying that tankies=communists?

‘Horseshoe theory’ is nonsense – the far right and far left have little in common

That’s a good fallback!

Yea, basically. Hmm, might do that route, but I don’t expect much traffic or anything. Thanks!
