Newpipe is still working great, I haven't used an official interface in like 3 years.
How/where to get newpipe?
https://newpipe.net download the apk on GitHub or F-Droid
Work on Android? I feel like I had it running but it broke after an update or something.
Works for me
Jailbroken?
It's just newpipe with sponsorblock. All you have to do is download and install the APK. I haven't done anything special with it, it's stock if that's what you mean.
No, you can just install it. The biggest drawback is you can't easily follow your subscribed channels. There is a way to import the list, but no easy way to update. The rest works great!
I'm on android. I got the app from fdroid. it's working fine.
Really liking freetube, for my fellow Mac users out there
Also highly recommend setting up Invidious. Having a self hosted youtube frontend with built in youtube-dl and 0 ads has been a game changer
Is there anything like that but instead of showing the trends, it shows what I watch most based on my subscribed channels, kinda like an algorithm or something?
To my knowledge it doesn't have that, but the suggested videos are pretty good. Like if I'm watching a science video, it will suggest other science videos. Otherwise I'm just subscribed to a few hundred channels and I mostly use the latest releases tab (not sure what it's officially called but it shows everything put out by your subscriptions every time you refresh it).
