I've tried a bunch of Piped links over the last week, none seem to work for me. Are they working for anyone?

[–] Jakdracula@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

They have never worked for me, not even once.

They worked for me some weeks ago.

I just tried this one. Spun for a full minute and I gave up. I would say 80% of alternative frontends for popular services haven't worked for me traditionally, yet people swear by them. It's really puzzling to me. Like you and I can't be the only person for whom services like these don't work.

I've never had one work and no longer even try.
