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 made this to help people solve this problem.

    More on the “I want all my things in only one app” complaint, this is a marketing tactic by companies like YouTube. It’s not a reasonable expectation. If you want to watch videos, they’ll be on the video host that hosts them. Imagine if all the websites were on one website. That would suck, just like youtube and reddit. Just get over it.

    We do have a technology to help us though, it’s called RSS. You can subscribe to just about anything using it, including youtube and peertube channels. Any website that doesn’t have RSS is not worth subscribing to.
