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’m also considering a try, but first could you tell me if you find all type of videos? I’m into Linux, PlayStation, basketball, cars and (paradoxically) ecology. Usually on other platforms than YouTube I tend to find only geeky stuff..

Yeah there's not really a lot there on gaming stuff. I mean theres very few things in comparison to youtube. But I wanted to support it and happy to do so, but it pales in comparison.

However, just like comparing Lemmy to reddit, an alternative has to start somewhere, you can't expect it to be the same overnight.

Thanks a lot for your answer. I might try for a few months then.

Well I’m starting on Nebula right now and sadly the content isn’t there yet.

Maybe it’ll come but I found more things which interest me on Odysee or Dailymotion for now.

Still I really like the idea of paying for a subscription and not being the product anymore.
