Libretube would have replaced the youtube app for me if not for how slow their instances are for me. So far I did not see any crashes but the pages would sometimes not load and would require you to change instances. I think the cause may have been that the instances are hosted far away from me geographically and that my current internet connection has been having issues for non-mainstream websites.

I did not dropped reddit completely, occasionally going in there through google searches but ever since the api fiasco I’ve never visited the site directly. I still haven’t deleted my account but didn’t used it since then and is planning to delete it. Lemmy does not have a lot of content and the niche communities compared to reddit. That is not a bad thing though and instead it had stopped me from mindless scrolling I picked up from using reddit.
