I run Piped from my homelab, from our home IP. I wonder if they will limit our home too...
Nah, a private instance works fine. Public instances see a lot more traffic and if they use their public IP address for accesing YouTube it is trivial for YT to ban them. If you want to host a public instance, you should use a proxy or VPN for all the YT traffic so yo can easily change the IP address.
I'm having some issues with my private instance that is used solely by myself and not even exposed to the internet.
Mine stopped working.
