New public invidious instance: https://inv.thepixora.com
Unlike the other public instances, this one is API available so it can be integrated into 3rd party clients like Clipious, Yattee, etc.
I’m trying to get it listed on the official Invidious instances list, hopefully it can get done asap. Otherwise, feel free to manually add it to your redirect manager of choice.
Privacy note: It is proxied behind cloudflare, so they could technically see your traffic in case that is a concern to you. However, it works without javascript or google servers and has no ads or bulky interface.
I plan to continue maintaining this instance up for the forseeable future, and would love to see how it performs under heavy user load.

My concern like with any front end is how long it will last or let YT let it last. I know you said you’ll be continuing to maintain it and I’m so thankful for anyone who does that but I still kinda question the longevity of such a project.

It will not last because of upstream YouTube changes, not because of the instance maintainer or the Invidious team commit activity.
I know. That is what I meant. And it makes the maintainers job a lot harder and at some point, many give up. Hence my questoning of the lengevity.

Yes, I eventually reached that point during the end of last year, so now I no longer maintain any privacy front-end instances.
I’m glad to have more instances, but you make a valid point about the longevity and usability of them. At this point I’m just saving everything I watch with yt-dlp and deleting them when no longer needed because YouTube’s upstream changes break front ends way too often to be reliably usable (not the maintainer’s fault).
