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 was wondering if there would be app which is not hosting videos itself only shows me content from nebula and all other services maybe including youtube in one convinient place so it work kind of like wefwef.app just provide me nice interface for existing services so to check if there is new interesting video i need to check only one app and not the whole bunch of apps.

I think your best option would be something like an RSS reader. Most website offer RSS feeds for channels or subs, so you can add those to the reader and create one list of new videos.

Actually you are right i am using rss for news and for notifications even from lemmy if someone adds new comment but when i was creating my account on nebula they didnt suport rss now they do so thank you. I would still like if i can get updates for all my nebula subscribed channels because right now i have to add them manually one by one. Maybe i will create some app to which you can link various video services and it will show you timeline with all new videos from multiple places since nothing like it aparently does not exist.
