Moving away from Google. I just added my fav subs into my rss feed but that isn’t an enough to get good recs. What else can one do? Alternative front ends that work?

    With invidious and in FreshRSS I use the youtube extension to use the embedded video player, you just need update this part of the code https://github.com/FreshRSS/Extensions/blob/master/xExtension-YouTube/extension.php#L153-L163
    It easy just to replace for this:

        public function getHtmlContentForLink(FreshRSS_Entry $entry, string $link): string
        {
            $domain = 'www.youtube.com';
            if ($this->useNoCookie) {
                $domain = 'www.youtube-nocookie.com';
            }
            $domain = 'invidious.personal.com';
            $params = 'quality=dash';
            $url = str_replace('//www.youtube.com/watch?v=', '//'.$domain.'/embed/', $link);
            $url = str_replace('http://', 'https://', $url);
            $url = $url . '?' . $params;
    
            return $this->getHtml($entry, $url);
        }
    

    The only change is to use $domain = 'invidious.personal.com';
    And add the parameter quality=dash

    Seems there’s also this one https://github.com/tunbridgep/freshrss-invidious
    but haven’t tried it
