Judging from its profile, it seems there's been no activity in the last two weeks, plus I messaged it yesterday trying to get it to join a community, and the documentation says I should receive a reply confirming the new subscription, but alas, radio silence.

I don't see an issue on GitHub, which makes me think it might be user error, although it also seems highly unlikely that no video links have been posted in the last two weeks.

Does anyone know what's up?

Has piped ever actually worked for you? I try to watch something on piped every couple weeks on desktop, and regularly on mobile because of the bot, and the videos ... just don't play. It's just never worked.

it's always either a hit or a miss. The player UI really needs to show if the instance you're streaming from is online and working or not. Otherwise, you just keep waiting for the loading to complete, but it never does and you go the the preference to check and the instance isn't up anymore. You change it back to another instance, go back to the player, check again and change instance again until it works. Then sometime later the same thing happens again.

Newpipe mostly always works and is good enough for me.
