NewPipe let's you add PeerTube instances in the app. I always felt like it would be a good way to get people to switch since you can have YouTube add free plus whatever other instances you want altogether. That being said, you still have to get them over the fdroid/obtanium/sideloading. And with the changes coming to android it would be tough. But wouldn't having an app you can have something like Mastadon + other garbage social media a person wants together, like how there are (were?) single FB/Twitter apps help with the conversion? This is probably sacrilege to a lot of fedi users if its even still possible with all the APIs being locked down (Reddit!!!)

    These "piped" apps never work for me

    Weird. I've been using the main newpipe branch on fdroid for about a year. It crashes out sometimes after I've been watching for awhile but a force stop usually fixes it. Or YouTube will change an api and it needs updated. I guess that itself is a no-go for a lot of users though 😢
