Pretty much just Peertube.
I see this mentioned every time - am I the only one only seeing 1 active creator (transport evolved) on there?
I just use YouTube and only watch my subscribed channels. I don't bother with recommendations
You can subscribe to youtube channels with rss, that way you don't have to log in a d you have a chronological list of uploads of channels you've chosen.
I found freetube helpful. You can subscribe to Channels directly in freetube. I am a bit unsure if it stops the algorythm completely.
Yeah, I thought of getting into grayjay instead, but the android app seems very unstable and slow for me, maybe I'll try tweaking ReVanced for a similar result instead.
You could just hide the home tab and default to the subscriptions. And I think you can also hide recomendations but Im not sure about that.
Youtube via RSS feeds.
Freetube if you want to watch YouTube without algorithms.
I feel like we need to get away from Gulag's servers in general tho. They're closing in on the likes of Freetube.
Seconded. You subscribe to channels you like, and your feed is just the newest videos first. Plus built in sponser block.
Check out the pinned posts at !peertube@lemmy.wtf for a list of PeerTube providers and content creators to follow.
YouTube patched via ReVanced, then browse without login.
On desktop, YouTube with uBlock, then browse without login.
I would not recommend using YouTube without login, if you plan on looking at the home page
Browsing without login still gives you an algorithm, but one for the lowest common denominator. I'd suggest using the subscription feed
Grayjay
Odysee
archive.org videos section
Grayjay on Android. Ad-free, no algo, and no shorts. There's a section that shows you like the top 10 hottest videos on the platform, but in the subscriptions tab it has all the latest from who you are subbed to.
Yewtube and/or ytdlp. I have a script which downloads any new videos from channels I typically watch. I use ytdlp to download music too
