want a youtube discovery alternative (lemm.ee)

I use newpipe, freetube instead of youtube.

It has everything but the discoverability that youtube provided.

I would atleast like a way to find new channels based on the channels I subscribe, if not new videos based on watched videos.

Need suggestions.

But won't I need an account, and even without login, watch activity on youtube for it to churn out similar recommendations. First priority is not to use youtube, recommendations are a good to have.

No you wouldn't need an account, NewPipe extractor can extract the info for you :P

Although this would be a programming project to put onto the backburner
