I wanted to use it back in the day, but most instances didn’t load. Even less often then regular Piped for me. I’d imagine that this wouldn’t be particularly improved now that YouTube’s doing their whole “Sign in to confirm you’re not a bot” spiel
I’ve had issues with instances in the past too, but there’s now a percentage next to each one displaying its uptime which I’ve found useful for stability.
God damn, just use LibreTube. It has a sleep timer, as well as many other advantages: No ads, no tracking, it uses the Piped API so you don’t have to connect to Google servers, and it’s fully open source and available on F-Droid: https://f-droid.org/en/packages/com.github.libretube/
They’re also on Mastodon and they even have a Lemmy community: !libretube@feddit.rocks

It works pretty well for me. I don’t have any problems on piped.video, piped.adminforge.de and piped.ngn.tf
You can also just disable the Piped proxy in the settings, effectively making it function like NewPipe
I’ll be sure to check out those instances then!

I don’t think I realized f droid didn’t need a rooted phone. Thanks for this comment!
It just tells me to sign in to confirm I’m not a bot
