    can’t see my subscriptions

    FreeTube has good instructions for how to export your existing subscriptions from YouTube and then import those into FreeTube. Those go into the default “All Channels” profile. From there, you can make more profiles, and add subscriptions into those. I have several now: News, Academia, Bushcraft, Motoring, more. Switching between them is seamless, you don’t lose your place.

    see videos I’ve already watched

    There is a History you can go to, although it appears to only show history for “All Channels” (does not filter based on profile subscriptions used above). There is a settings toggle for “Hide Videos on Watch.”

    leave likes on videos

    That’s true, you can’t leave likes on or comment on videos (though you can view comments). I’m in the “oh fucking well” camp on that.

        … Okay? I guess?

        I mean, a browser is an application, too. Add the Privacy Redirect extension to your browser, and it’ll open all YouTube links in FreeTube, so it’s really pretty seamless.

        I’m not sure what’s got me promoting FreeTube so much right now. I just started using it less than a week ago. The learning curve is quite shallow, and since I only watch videos on my desktop (not on my shitty shitty phone), I don’t have to be concerned with my history and subscriptions being synced anywhere.
