Reddit killed them a year ago. That’s why people switched to Lemmy btw.

I think this app is just a very simple frontend to the official API without much tracker blocking. It’s not meant for privacy but more for simple ad-free listening.

You too, mister/miss

Yes, mister/miss, I read your comments again and I admit I did completely misunderstand you. I’m sorry for that and I’m extremely grateful you chose to explain your point in a friendly manner instead of starting a drama or acting in a toxic manner.

ViMusic is no longer maintained so any Google side changes (that are very frequent recently) can break some features of it (like it already did with song authors) or the whole app. If it works for you then you don’t have to switch. I’m not familiar with any security vulnerabilities of ViMusic so it’s definitely not necessary to avoid using it (though I still highly encourage you to check its GitHub so you’re informed about any issues found) and it’s probably even slightly more privacy-focused than InnerTune but many users prefer actively maintained software for many reasons, including but not limited to the ones mentioned above.

So you’re offering a system that requires the instance/provider admins to manually federate with others instead of the federation being enabled by default?

Why don’t they use existing domains? I don’t think 100% of them require a phone number. And didn’t know it’s possible to defederate an email provider.

As I understood you said that we should make email paid to stop spammers.

But most people don’t pay for software, especially if there are “free” and legal alternatives.

When some videos don’t play, change the instance. It often helps

Not really. The toggle does kill the point of the app but the VPN is used instead. It’s a welcome feature for VPN users, not a stupid decision.

I’m not the only one unfortunately

Piped is much slower than regular YouTube and it’s definitely a serious convenience hit but I guess that’s what you pay for a free (as in beer and freedom) privacy improvement unfortunately.

It literally says “disable this only if you always use a VPN” below the button. If you use a VPN, there’s no point in slowing down the thing by using a proxy.

That kills the point of LibreTube bruh

Now waiting for LibreTube

No a completely white screen with absolutely nothing on it

This is such a great idea lol

For me it opens for like 2-3 seconds and then goes to blank white screen no matter what browser or device I use.

it looks like the UI was made for mobile only.

Almost everything is like that nowadays. Idk if I can help because I don’t fully understand what you meant but I think DDG might have what you’re looking for.
