    Not sure if it’s Boost or YouTube Revanced at fault but got the following error when I tried to open a Lemmy link to a video: https://postimg.cc/q6sW77x0

    Also, the sign-up journey is a bit confused. Clicking sign up takes me to joinlemmy, which then just lands me on a home page for whichever instance I click. Might be more user friendly to prompt for a choice of instance and take them directly to that instance’s sign up page. And maybe have a button for “not sure? Explore here” or something similar that would take you to joinlemmy

      That was an known issue in the last Reddit build. Something related to YouTube API changes for the embedded player. Maybe it’ll be fixed, but in the meantime, the dev said you just have to select “Always” to always be redirected to the YouTube full app.

      Being taken to the instance that just selected makes pretty firm logical sense to me, personally. Is the sign up process/path uniform across all instances?

        The few I checked were, but not sure if the path is defined as part of the Lemmy protocol.
