As of late, invidious has become pretty much unusable for me. All the instances either don’t work or are very slow, and as nobody knows Crystal more and more bugs keep cropping up (e.g. right now search is broken on all instances).
Are there any alternatives? I know of FreeTube but its client is Electron which is a no-go for me. I also know of youtube-dl, but I’m more interested in a website I can use to watch YouTube while proxied.
same. it was broken for a day and some new glitches with channels popped up, but still beats using yt, especially with proxy option. I was watching all night tonight.
one other thing that seems to work pretty well is going directly to the video which can be facilitated by following the rss feed for a channel you like, e.g. https://invidious.snopyta.org/feeds/videos.xml?channel_id=<channel-id>
Yeah I think snopyta.org is the best invidious instance now, but now that it’s not being maintained, I think it’s just a matter of time before the whole thing dies.
I think we should be reaching out to TY creators to mirror stuff on peertube.
