I was very confused at first. I didnt log into anything, yet https://invidio.us/ has plenty of creators from my YT subscriptions :o How the heck? Do the owner curate whats on the front page? I can only counts a couple video channels I have no interest in whatsoever (pie, h3, vox), or did Google finally started curating? No low value garbage on first page, something YT is usually struggling with. Still Peterson in related/recommendations tho.

The main algorithm is described here[0]. It's the most recent videos from the 40 most subscribed channels on the instance.
YouTube's recommendations are still used. They'll appear the same as if you viewed YouTube with a clean browser session, although you can disable them in your preferences if you'd like (under "Show related videos").
