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 the source code at: https://github.com/TeamPiped/lemmy-piped-link-bot

You can find Piped's source code at: https://github.com/TeamPiped/Piped

PS: I'm the author of Piped :P

So sorry to bother you, but how do you do cross posts?

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

Sweet! This is great for people that want to enjoy content people are posting here, but want to avoid places like youtube (where most video content is coming from, even with peertube on the Fediverse or Odyssey having built in payment methods.).

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!
