In the lght of recent events (gloogel complaining about uBlock) I tried to investigate other available options out there. While Piped.video definitely works, it looks like it is only fluid for popular videos, and as soon as I want to watch something a little more obscure, it is basically impossible, I have infinite wheel spinning.
Have anyone here tried self hosting Piped/ Invidious, and could share a feedback about performance /usability ?
I use the Piped instance piped.adminforge.de and it works well enough. How popular a video is doesn’t make a difference but sometimes nothing will load for like half an hour or something. That’s fairly rare tho.
