So I created an open-source Lemmy bot to reply to posts/comments with YouTube links with converted Piped links to preserve your privacy.
Piped is an open-source alternative privacy-friendly frontend to YouTube. You can watch the same content from YouTube without connecting to Google’s servers.

PS: I’m the author of Piped :P
I don’t think the current Lemmy clients allow hiding bots, but if they really bother you/people that much, it should possible to add options to hide bots altogether.
The regular settings allow you to hide all accounts marked as bots. So yeah its possible as long as the are properly tagged.
