I tried to import my subscription from YouTube to the app but I got rate limited due to the large amount of channels. Is there a way around it?

You'll probably want to report that to the devs. It is in alpha so there is a lot to add, fix, and tweak.
I did report it just making sure I haven't miss anything. Pretty excited about the app
Also happened to me.
Also now the rate limit applied for a while to newpipe as well. Kind of unfortunate that until they fix it it's not a very useful app.
If only it didn't require you to have a new phone to run it. (Minimum Android 10)
I literally just watched the video from Louis Rossman, and came straight here. Pleased to see everyone already talking about it!
I watched a bunch of that too but what was a little concerning to me was holding up Destiny as an example of a good use case for the service. There's a reason Destiny keeps getting banned from every platform he touches. Putting him up front and center makes me wonder if they have a plan to deal with problematic people (like Destiny). Are they just going to the up hosting white supremacists and Neonazis? That's not really a (meta)platform i want to support.
I find it strange that they immediately called it a "better ReVanced", when apart from the feed thing it doesn't have nearly as many features as ReVanced.
Has anyone come up with an actual reason to switch? Because I have a feeling ReVanced is still better?
Finally something new that is feature complete from the get go.
I know! The alpha is more complete then most companies full releases!
Can you import from a newpipe backup?
No, only from an existing YouTube account
Since they encourage ppl to write plugins, hopefully someone will write an import feature.
Sadly no iOS or Desktop app :/
A desktop app would be nice, but I wouldn't count on an IOS app, because I'm pretty sure this violates app store policies.
But it is an alpha so there's still the chance they could make a desktop app later.
We have ipa diles on ios :) And we can sideload apps
amazed at the number of upvotes considering this software's aim is to specifically combat de-platforming of creators, a practice that is by and large supported by the fake progressive community making up the majority on lemmy.
