Hello guys, I have noticed that all the big internet services are starting to get worse and worse. And I am forced to migrate to foss alternatives. I have moved from Windows to OpenSUSE, from Reddit to Lemmy, etc. But I have an issue with moving from youtube. It is not that my favourite channels are not bringing me alternative they do but it is somewhat fragmented. Some of them are on PeerTube, some on Floatplane, and some on Nebula and I would rather pay those than youtube. My issue is that each of these has its app and I would like to have them united in one app to which I link all my accounts to. Does something like this exist?

I've been a NewPipe user since forever but I tried LibreTube like a month ago and I have completely switched.

I don't consume Soundcloud or Bandcamp, and I'd like to consume PeerTube with an account, but NewPipe is fully local.

So that makes NewPipe only useful for YouTube (for me), and FreeTube has a few extra features that made me switch:

sync a Piped account to sync subs and playlists
livestreams can be easily found
you can share videos without timestamp (I still cannot believe how NewPipe does this always wrong)
nested comments!!
