As it stands, both Piped and Invidious are dead.
Because od that, I almost completely stopped watching youtube but l’d still sometimes like to check what the people I follow posted (I used to do that via Piped).
Are there any new ways of following people without actually using Google? I’m aware of the tools that download new videos as they come out but I’m more interested in just “subscribing”, kinda like RSS?
Ideally it would be on iOS
Edit: I found it, “Unwatched” on iOS is awesome, thanks to !FundMECFSResearch@lemmy.blahaj.zone
It doesn’t allow for forking so it is effectively proprietary. It is critical that the community can fork something when they don’t like the direction.
it does allowing forking and redistributing, but you cannot remove or obscure functionality related to payments. https://gitlab.futo.org/videostreaming/grayjay/-/blob/master/LICENSE.md
It doesn’t respect the 4 freedoms thus it isn’t foss. Use it if you want but keep in mind that FUTO has full control over the rights of Grayjay.
Oh, I didn’t know that. Yeah, I don’t like that at all.
I use Tubular (Newpipe with Sponsorblock) from polymorphicshade, though lol.
