Zorin OS, which was the second distro I ever tried, I hated how outdated their repos were since they were using an older Ubuntu LTS repository for packages. It was quite painful to install software that would otherwise have worked out-of-the-box on Ubuntu. I hope this is no longer the case today.

I try doing something productive, like working on developing a new skill, or work on some of my hobby projects. That prevents me from feeling lonely.

Here’s some that I thought about:

• Wikipub
• Wikihive (A bee mascot)
• Academoo (A cow mascot)
• LinkLynx (A lynx with a magnifying glass maybe?)
• Encyclonet

I haven’t seen any changes from YouTube recently, the ways we fetch age restricted content still seem to work for most videos. However, this method may not work for all videos as YouTube has different levels of age restrictions afaict. I’ve seen very few videos fall under that category personally.

If anything were to change in the future, I may consider implementing something similar to what this extension does (or use their API) in Piped.

Oh, I see! I overlooked that you needed an account on the instance to be able to resolve remote communities.

Connect is a closed-source application and is hence not on F-Droid. If you wanted to download apps from the play store, you can use Aurora Store btw!

Peertube is based on the Activitypub protocol and can federate with other instances just like Lemmy/Mastodon. Odysee is a decentralized blockchain-based video-sharing platform.

If you’d like to monetize your content, Odysee would be the better option due to its own cryptocurrency for tipping. I personally like Peertube more, as I think it is better moderated against right-wing content.

Peertube and Odysee.

EndeavourOS, it’s based on Arch Linux.

Alpine Linux on most of my servers, if want something else for some reason Ubuntu.

I will say I saw your bot, triple comment on a post.

Is that in error? If so, could you give me a link to that? I could try fixing that then!

You have a similar project for Android called Libretube :) Here’s a list of projects that use Piped’s API: https://github.com/TeamPiped/Piped#made-with-piped

I currently host the official instance, which is entirely run by donations. However, there are many community instances people can switch to in the preferences menu on the site. They are listed at https://github.com/TeamPiped/Piped/wiki/Instances

It’s on top near the post, which looks like a clipboard and is just right off the star/favorite button.
