What's your fav newpipe alternative that works on linux? Not invidious, it lags behind in features and has very significant loading times (imo) compared to newpipe. (lemmy.perthchat.org)

Freetube app I like it because it has the options to disable distractions like comments, likes, recommended and so on.

It's eggcellent! Able to set quality to 144p, remember that i watched only half the vid!

I second this. FreeTube ftw!

Minitube is lagy and glitchy but I love it

I tried it on my phone, 2/2 vids couldn't play. Not compatible with android?

*shrug* works for me™. https://piped.video and https://piped.kavin.rocks are the instances I usually use.

The site seems to run a little wonky for me. Not sure if you are using an app for it or through a browser but the only way the browser worked for me was either from 1. sitting on the page long enough for it to load the video and then confirm me asking to play it or 2. it only works when going full screen or some other option menu pulled up first before attempting to play it.

I will say I have used Piped in the past on desktop (which the post is asking about), and run into minimal issues but on android it may be an entirely differenbt beast. Esspecially considering people may be using browser/apps.
