[FEATURE] option . to subscribe locally, - emulated subscription

[DI555]

Describe the feature you'd like to see added
great would be to have possibility to subscribe locally in the app’s base, if you have not a yt account !
some kind of "emulation subscription" !!!

[FireMasterK]

The account system does not require a YT account, but a piped account.

[DI555]

this feature exactly for the case when no any accounts exist !
so, the local subscriptions whould be the great and much usable !

[FireMasterK]

When designing Piped, requiring an account was a design choice to improve efficiency, since the server could just keep track of subscription via pubsub.

In case of a client, constant polling is required for each subscription channel (like on NewPipe), which can take seconds or even minutes when combined altogether, and is unnecessary stress on instances.

I don't think this is a good idea to implement this.

[DI555]

ok, but its just convinience to using "local" subscription.
i think this issue may be paused so far.. until it’ll be obviouse for all that it’s quite comfortable..

but, i think i’ve got another way thought for that kind idea decision..

Can this discussion be closed since the feature is implemented?
