This looks amazing! I would love to see these implemented/added officially into Beehaw!
That’s how I’ve been starting to see this all as well. The seperate, smaller instances remind me a lot of 00’s phpbb forum, but it’s with the UX of Reddit. Lastly the intercompatibility feels comparable to e-mail: It doesn’t matter that I use gmail and you use Outlook, we can still send eachother an e-mail and both servers will talk to eachother without any issue. It’s the some of the best of many worlds and I’m feeling Lemmy and Kbin are here to stay for me.
FreeTube is what you’re looking for. LibreTube, Newpipe and FreeTube can import/export each-others subscriptions too
I used Newpipe for a while on Android, but recently I discovered LibreTube, which is now my favorite Youtube client on Android. It looks a bit more modern and it actually shows you child comments, instead of just the parent comments. I still use Newpipe as a backup, though.
On desktop, I either use FreeTube, MPV (Pairs great together with Qutebrowser or ytfzf) or simply Firefox with extensions.
Also, I only just noticed that Lemmy actually loads in newly posted comments live in the thread, without the need to reload the page. Very nice!
On Android, I use AntennaPod. Does everything I want from a podcast app and more.
