Invidious: an alternative front-end to YouTube

Is it possible to display my "Subscriptions" screen from YT? That's the only thing I use to decide what's to watch next.

For that I'd suggest different approach: using FreeTube[1][2] client which carries subscriptions locally; you can export and import channels in FreeTube format, NewPipe and OPML. FreeTube uses invidious to fetch and play videos - among other two players; it's also possible to change the instance in case of any issues. Sadly, I can't tell if it's possible to import YT subscriptions since I don't use the service with Google account for years.

I think youtube subscriptions can be exported into opml and then import them into invidious

Also, what is registering for? Does it only save my preferences?

I believe registering also provides a non-google way of tracking subscriptions :)
