YouTube client alternative (lemm.ee)

I am looking for a YouTube alternative client, where I can ideally import my subscriptions, and possible even like or comment on a Linux computer. Does such a thing exist?

If you're looking for an in-browser alternative I'd highly recommend you take a look at the LibRedirect extension for Firefox and Chromium. It'll automatically redirect any youtube URL to your preferred alternative between Invidious, Piped, PokeTube, CloudTube, Tubo, FreeTube, or Yattee.

If you're looking for an external app and like using your terminal then ytfzf may be a good choice. I've briefly talked about it here. It will even allow you to search on Youtube (through invidious), Peertube, and Odysee if you so desire.

I've been using piped. It's pretty fast from my (limited) experience. It doesn't have the ability to comment, but core features like playlist creation exist. There's also an android app front-end available from f-droid called LibreTube.
