Moving away from Google. I just added my fav subs into my rss feed but that isn’t an enough to get good recs. What else can one do? Alternative front ends that work?

It's really not. Windows XP had its source leaked, it's not source available. Grayjay is source available, so I can see every new commit before it hits my phone. That's a pretty big difference, and it's the most important when it comes to public security audits.

You aren't legally allowed to do anything about a bad commit so it is meaningless

That doesn't follow. If there's a bad commit in Windows 10 or 11, I won't even know about it. If there's a bad commit in Grayjay, I can:

not upgrade, or downgrade to an unaffected version
report the issue on their issue tracker
technically violate the license by patching it myself and building my own copy (probably fine provided I don't distribute changes)

I can do exactly none of that with most proprietary software, so this source-available license is much better than those. Again, it's not ideal, but considering it the same as every other proprietary software license is absurd.
