I've had issues with Invidious and Piped literally every time I've tried to use them. Can't understand how people even use the public servers.
However I have disabled Piped proxy in LibreTube and been using that for a long while but for the last week or so it hasn't been working at all.
GrayJay is still working though.
I have also had piles of trouble. I don't get how so many people apparently have none
It's the same with all the other frontends (LibReddit, Nitter, etc.). They never work and everyone is just like "try a different instance!". How many dozen different instances should I try before I give up?
Shout out to Stealth (Reddit) and Squawker (Twitter), those both work the vast majority of the time without any "instances" to depend on or switch through.
there's a browser extension called libredirect that has a keyboard shortcut to switch between instances. you can also use freetube/newpipe/mpv.
I know what apps you can use. The apps are not the problem. The proxies are.
