    Non plus ultra: Download the video and then upload to whichever PeerTube instance you use. At least if you’re confident enough that this won’t cause you legal trouble (e.g. cases like “fair use” should be safe).

    FreeTube has a neat function to download comfortably (but make sure to pick an option with both audio and video).

        Yea that’s the thing I’m more looking for. If I want to share a video with someone, I don’t want to have to send them an app to download first, I want to redirect to a private site in a browser that they can then choose to use how they wish.

          Got it. In this case yeah Freetube is not a solution, the person would need to download Freetube and install Libredirect on the browser(wich means on mobile the person need to use firefox).

          Honestly the instance that worked better for me with better uptime is inv.nadeko.net

    Do you mean for sharing links on Lemmy/the Fediverse? There was discussion around this a while back and in the end the consensus was that it was most useful to just use the direct YouTube link as the primary, then optionally include a link to an alternative front-end. That way it was easier for people to use their own preferred front-end, and it avoided a problem we were sometimes running into where enough people would try watching a link at the same time that it would overwhelm the alternative.
