  This is also a good beginner way to learn about self hosting in docker.

  Freetube can make a great backup for when google inevitably breaks something.

  And for thise videos you really cant miss there is always yt-dlp scripted to download a channels latests video on a schedule straight to jellyfin of course.

  I have not visited the youtube website in more then a year.

    it’s like lemmy: you choose an instance, make an account, import your subscriptions from YouTube and done. you can watch all channels from there

      Sadly, most of the instances seem to be completely nonfunctional. Nadeko.net seemed to be the only one working for months.

      Ok, so there are hosted instances? At face value this looks like you need to self host. Which I am more than capable of both in terms of equipment and experience. I just don’t want to go that far to watch youtube. Thanks for explaining.
