Each Instance / Server is able to use the data of the Activity Pub Protocol. If you see comments on Lemmy where people use hashtags or mention Users with an “@”, they are probably answering through Mastodon.

Cant help you with this specific type of content, but you could use Invidious.io to watch YouTube Videos. Still better than nothing. No Google API, No Tracking, no Ads and pre installed SponsorBlock.

And here comes the fun part: It can’t turn into Reddit 2.0. If you don’t like the policy of your Instance, just join an Instance that fits you more, or create one your own.
