Peertube is the Fediverse equivalent. It needs more content, and more instances to host said content, but it's a good start.
Subscriptions not appearing on the subscription page? That might make me reconsider paying for YouTube - that page has one job!
Tell me about it. The Julie Noelke Video is the one that caught my eye as being on the YT homepage but not in the subscriptions list. Per other recommendations I've moved to Invidious and here is a comparison of the 18-19hr range of videos. Note that the Invidious list actually has more videos in the 19hr range (including the couple that do show up at 19hrs for YT) than the 4 shown. YT shows ... 2
Odyssey I know that SOG is on there, they have a mobile app as well
odysee ?
Nebula, it is a paid service, but I'm happy to pay for something that just works. There's a lot of smart creators there as well
Same. A lot of science and history YouTubers post there. And there's a lot of early releases and exclusives like Real Engineering's amazing D-day series. Pretty inexpensive and totally worth it
Oh, there's also Floatplane with basically the same model. I don't have that one, but I think it's mainly tech YouTubers currently
I've been using a mix of selfhosted Invidous / Freetube at home, revanced on the phone. I'm good so far, but I don't consume much YouTube anyway so the homepage / subscription page doesn't impact my experience, as I can personalize it in Invidious anyway.
You can try Peertube or Odyssee.
agreed, I use newpipe x SponsorBlock and imported subscriptions w google takeout.
They got rid of the Dislike button
There's an extension to get it back
They changed the Homepage to 2 ginormous thumbnails per row
And they've hidden the 'watch later' button, to press it now you first need to wait for the video preview to load 🙄
WTF are they thinking?
It's like they purposely make the UI a little bit worse every two months.
NewPipe is the alternative so far. Libretube is cool, but the instances are unstable. Odysee is also good though it can get slow depending on your connection.
