Creators can create a polycentric identity and link their platforms together using the Harbor app. If you are then subscribed to their YouTube channel, you will also see content they post on any other platform like Patreon, etc.

You subscribe to the creator, not the platform identity.

There are also very simple dedup algorithms to try and deduplicate your feed. However, they can probably still be improved.

We are minimal SDK 29 right now (https://developer.android.com/tools/releases/platforms) we will look into lowering the requirement to Android 9, there seem to be quite a lot of requests for that.

The plugin is not in the pipeline right now. However, anybody can make a plugin (see https://gitlab.futo.org/videostreaming/plugins for examples). We will also publish more docs soon to help people get started (heres a small getting started doc https://gitlab.futo.org/videostreaming/grayjay/-/blob/master...).

Perhaps in the future once we have a bit more time we can spend more time adding platforms.

We are working on a Github mirror for the source code as soon as the Gitlab instance is back up.

The first step (which is now already working) is that creators can create a polycentric identity and link their platforms together using the Harbor app.

If you are then subscribed to their YouTube channel, you will also see content they post on any other platform like Patreon, etc.

You subscribe to the creator, not the platform identity.

We cannot easily provide social graphs for platforms we cannot control. However, we also offer the option to make Polycentric comments where you as the commenter own your comment, rather than the platform owning the comment.

Polycentric is an open protocol https://docs.polycentric.io/ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KLoCtRzTkJQ&t=0s and you are free to create any social graph you might want to.

I hope this answers your question sufficiently.

To answer another common question, you can import your subscriptions from NewPipe by exporting the subscriptions as a JSON and opening the file in the Grayjay app. This flow will be improved in the future.

As one of the devs of the project, I will try to answer your questions as much as possible.

Even if you download the universal APK, the app will detect which architecture you have, and the next update it will install the architecture specific one, reducing the bundle size.

By default sending tracking data to YouTube is disabled, but it can be enabled in the settings for the plugin (after you login). This way your money will go to the correct channels.

You can click source -> YouTube -> Login followed by import subscriptions.
