Moving away from Google. I just added my fav subs into my rss feed but that isn’t an enough to get good recs. What else can one do? Alternative front ends that work?

    I have a locally hosted invidious instance but increasingly I’m finding most of the creators I watch are on Nebula. I just recently discovered that Rifftrax has a presence there.

    With invidious and in FreshRSS I use the youtube extension to use the embedded video player, you just need update this part of the code https://github.com/FreshRSS/Extensions/blob/master/xExtension-YouTube/extension.php#L153-L163
    It easy just to replace for this:

        public function getHtmlContentForLink(FreshRSS_Entry $entry, string $link): string
        {
            $domain = 'www.youtube.com';
            if ($this->useNoCookie) {
                $domain = 'www.youtube-nocookie.com';
            }
            $domain = 'invidious.personal.com';
            $params = 'quality=dash';
            $url = str_replace('//www.youtube.com/watch?v=', '//'.$domain.'/embed/', $link);
            $url = str_replace('http://', 'https://', $url);
            $url = $url . '?' . $params;
    
            return $this->getHtml($entry, $url);
        }
    

    The only change is to use $domain = 'invidious.personal.com';
    And add the parameter quality=dash

    Seems there’s also this one https://github.com/tunbridgep/freshrss-invidious
    but haven’t tried it

    I use a self-hosted invidious instance, and despite the recent issues with Google trying to block them mine works behind Mullvad VPN.

    I use the web app on desktop, and Yattee client on my phone/ipad
