Can we get maintained front ends on the sidebar? (lemmy.world)

Sometimes I will share a resource on YouTube here. I think it is good on its own for the community, but really its a good intro to share with friends and family.

People often push back because of the link being YouTube, fair, but simply saying find a front end is kind of entailed. Many that are public go down and never come back, and the link does have the video ID at the end of the URL so if you are self hosting you can just load it up.

Idea to mitigate this (or for any other domains people get screechy at):
First entry to be some redirect script, even perhaps a community-maintained one as from what I dug on the matter a while back, replacing the domain in a link with e.g. Violent Monkey is pretty trivial, at worse requiring some regex and JavaScript knowledge.
