However, YouTube rate limits big Piped instances, so it's better to use NewPipe or a small instance.
Small instances it is ^^
A couple days ago I found a service called Farside, apparently you can replace youtube.com with farside.link/piped to redirect to a random smaller Piped instance. It works pretty well for me, although sometimes I just use il.ax because I'm just lazy and don't want to type that much.
That's nice!
Although, IDK how it works with piped, but because I'm using SearX for years and instances can log things if they want (and some did), I got used to briefly go over the service's policy. I need to check if piped instances can log things before using random instances.
That's fair, I never really have done that before or thought about doing that. Maybe I should. At just farside.link, they have a list of Piped instances that are part of the servuce at that moment. Maybe you could find instances to use there instead.
