I switched to it from NewPipe w SponsorBlock (fork) when it went public for testing. For a prerelease it does everything I need, except SB functionality. Hoping that is in the pipeline.

Subscription feed works for you? When I imported my subs it said the subscription feed is disabled to due to issues with YouTube API limits. Getting nebula in my home feed is nice though. Mostly still on NP+SB in the meantime.

It does, yep - I just opened it and it already had a video posted just 11 minutes ago. There have been a couple bugs I've found and reported but it's all small, out-of-the-way stuff. I have around 65 yt channels I follow.
