Why is Libretube so fucking slow? (feddit.de)

Watching videos has basically become impossible. Not even at 144p, not even just the audio loads more than 20 seconds and then stops every 2-3 seconds. I'm really not sure what causes it.
Am I using the wrong instance?
Is Google interfering?
Is my phone or the app not working correctly?
Is my ISP messing with me?

Any tips would be much appreciated

edit: Might have overreacted there a bit. Videos load and run fine in my mobile browser on any network so I doubt it's the instance nor my ISP.

Still leave Google or the app as possible reasons. 🤔

Are you using the Piped proxy? Try without it and see if that helps.

That seemed to only make it worse 🤔
