Piped

AGPL v3MatrixLemmyRegistered UsersIPFS BuildGitHub Repo starsGitHub last commitTranslation status

An open-source alternative frontend for YouTube which is efficient by design.

The Problem

YouTube has an extremely invasive privacy policy which relies on using user data in unethical ways. You give them a lot of data - ranging from ideas, music taste, content, political opinions, and much more than you think.

By using Piped, you can freely watch and listen to content without the fear of prying eyes watching everything you are doing.

Piped

AGPL v3MatrixLemmyRegistered UsersIPFS BuildGitHub Repo starsGitHub last commitTranslation status

An open-source alternative frontend for YouTube which is efficient by design.

The Problem

YouTube has an extremely invasive privacy policy which relies on using user data in unethical ways. You give them a lot of data - ranging from ideas, music taste, content, political opinions, and much more than you think.

By using Piped, you can freely watch and listen to content without the fear of prying eyes watching everything you are doing.

  • Playlists
  • Integration with SponsorBlock
  • Integration with LBRY for streaming
  • Integration with Return YouTube Dislike via RYD-Proxy

  • Playing just audio
  • PWA support
  • Locally saved Preferences
  • Available in many languages, thanks to our translators
  • Embedded video support
  • No age restriction
  • Bypasses Geo restrictions if possible through a federated network

Technical Features

  • Multi-region load-balancing
  • Performant by design, designed to handle 1000s of users concurrently
