      Sadly, most of the instances seem to be completely nonfunctional. Nadeko.net seemed to be the only one working for months.

      Ok, so there are hosted instances? At face value this looks like you need to self host. Which I am more than capable of both in terms of equipment and experience. I just don’t want to go that far to watch youtube. Thanks for explaining.
