Is there a Lemmy community for all time classic YouTube videos?

Obviously there's the most viewed of all time, which would count, but there's also thousands of absolute classics that are lesser known. I can only recall some because they made a specific impression on me. There should be a community to archive those and pseudo-rank them through upvotes.

If there isn't one, nobody steal my idea, I'll make one on sh.itjust.works.

Also I would be remiss if I didn't mention lemmy.myserv.one here. I had never seen Streets 1:12 until I saw it referenced in one of the many entertaining taglines that u/Thief added to the server and I decided to check it out. What a rush!

Edit:

Ok I've finally been able to create the community. FYI if you're making a community, don't use capital letters in the URL name. You can use it in the display name though. I'll give some time for people to post their stuff.

Lmao yes this is exactly what I'm talking about, I've never seen this before

I'm making the community but I'm having some technical difficulties, bear with me.

Is it a friendly bear or should we be worried for you?

Let's just say I'd rather be with a man than this bear. But the bear is gone.

Did the bear do what was intended/requested of it, or was it a naughty bear?

I'm just tripping balls from your username formatting, perhaps you should talk to @[email protected]

I would subscribe.

Trogdor the burninator.

Just remembered All Your Base Are Belong To Us: https://youtu.be/qItugh-fFgg

That predates youtube in fact. It was from YTMND or Newgrounds if I remember correctly.

I would sub. There are so many videos I know I've forgotten over the years.

Obligatory Charlie the Unicorn https://youtu.be/CsGYh8AacgY

And that series just recently got a finale, too.

Saved, waiting for a community link.

I'll edit it in whenever I can actually make this community 😀

Jones BBQ foot massage, such a legend lmao https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WPkMUU9tUqk

I think the post button doesn't work for me from lemm.ee. Never forget the Techno Viking! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UjCdB5p2v0Y

Jean Luc Picard of the U-S-S Enterprise says... make it so and fire ze missiles. Even if you are le tired.

Jean Luc was from YTMND, but yeah, absolute classic

And the end of the world was originally on albino black sheep - there are versions of both up on YouTube now though.

Not specifically for youtube videos, but half the examples people are posting here aren't originally from youtube anyway.

Totally down, joining!

How do you see the most viewed youtube videos of all time?

Just Google it. Lol but seriously.

IIRC there's like the evolution of dance, Charlie bit my finger, and more? Idk.

I'll make one on sh.itjust.works.

Well? We're waiting.

It's not working right now. Surely you can at least wait until tomorrow. If I can't make it by then, then it's my bad

I guess sometimes sh.itdoesnt.work

For the curious, it was because I tried to put capital letters in the community name. Don't blame sh.itjust.works, blame Lemmy.

But also blame yourselves for not donating enough, coding isn't easy or free.

Obviously take your time. Sorry if the comment came of wrong.

You really need the GIF from caddyshack for the appropriate tone!

I really want to see this sub! I think this could be something that could encompass videos like vines or tiktoks

Republicans: we only need one video. "Show me your genitals"

NB: remove the ?si= part of a YouTube link and everything following it.

This is the share ID, and creates a link between your account and any account that watches it, indicating that you have shared a link with them. They track this to try to figure out what videos you, and the person you shared it with, might like in common.

Some of the easiest tracking to avoid just by removing a string from a URL.

Great tip! Thanks

11 years is not classic YouTube. My kid is older than that video. Classic YouTube is from the early days before the algorithms ruined everything.

Whatevs.

I don't know the community that does it, but it sounds really cool
