Newpipe is getting updates on fdroid again and seem like will be getting updates for the foreseeable future as the issue stopping it is solved.

Also on an unrelated note anyway to remove live from your subscribed channels update field ? Some channels are filling it with live so i have to really scroll down to see my video feeds and can't find a setting to switch it off. Newpipe didn't used to add live in your what's new feed of subscribed channels, related pic .
Libretube would have replaced the youtube app for me if not for how slow their instances are for me. So far I did not see any crashes but the pages would sometimes not load and would require you to change instances. I think the cause may have been that the instances are hosted far away from me geographically and that my current internet connection has been having issues for non-mainstream websites.
I used to select piped instances via libretube (mobile Firefox lets you install non-approved extensions by making your own collection and choosing that in the browser). Basically I'd go to the extension's settings page, ping the available instances and choose some of the fastest ones. Although, it's not at all convenient.
