What is the etiquette for posting YT links in this scenario? If the content is from YT I’d prefer to post the canonical link instead of a mirror that may go down or may get hugged to death. If you’d rather view on a mirror I’d suggest you use e.g. LibRedirect. Does this make sense? Are there better ideas? I’d like to promote non-YT frontends but am not sure what the best option here would be.

Piped is not a mirror, it’s just like a backdoor access to the original YouTube video.
So if you can access it on YT, you can access it on Piped
Unless Piped dies
Piped can’t die. It’s just software. Maybe one instance can “die” and go offline for some reason but there are thousands more.
Same for Invidious.
Oh, I thought it’s a single website. My bad
The bot OP is talking about links to a single website. But the code running the site is used to run many sites like it. Similar to how Lemmy works.
That’s my understanding, anyway. I haven’t looked too much into it, so I could be wrong.
