Happens to me on Fennec F-Droid.

Doens't work for me either. Fedora Linux 43 on Firefox, Zen and Vivaldi. Newest version of all.

Me too. I open the site and all I see is a gray screen with a spinning loading symbol. Other than that, just the header, with a search field that doesn't work, and the footer.

I have found the solution, for me at least. I use "private.coffee" version of piped. I'm pretty sure Google blocks certain piped instances.

Sorry? The closest thing I found is PeerTube, but it's an alternative platform to YouTube, not a different interface that excludes tracking.

@AP2020C Sorry the url is: "piped.private.coffee". Hope that helps! :)

Ive tried private coffee, unfortunately in each video it gave same error message « the page needs to be reloaded » if anyone got a solution that would help

[kbowlerthedragon2002]

it's still happening has a solution been found yet?

[kbowlerthedragon2002]

@Doggo499 It's only giving me a page needs to reload message and reloading isn't even doing anything

[Doggo499]

I honestly haven't played a video on the platform yet. I am indeed getting the same error... Anyone got a solution or another platform to try?
