Lemmy bot to automatically reply to YouTube links with Piped ones (feddit.rocks)

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.

PS: I'm the author of Piped :P

Thanks for making this! I usually don't post Piped or Invidious links, because most people don't know what they are. But now the bot will do it for me and explain what it is!

Piped is awesome too! Is integration with PeerTube planned? I don't know how it would work exactly, but it would be nice if people gradually started switching to a decentralized platform. Maybe Piped could help make that easier somehow?

If the Peertube developers find a way to make a way to find the same content there through some metadata, we could support it easily, but currently, there isn't anything.
