Absolutely!
I hope this answer will be helpful to others as well, @FreeTube 
@tetrapyloctomist @FreeTube Newpipe is for android, FreeTube for desktop. You can import newpipe's sub file in freetube and have the same subscriptions there.
@tetrapyloctomist
FreeTube and NewPipe solve a lot of the same issues. The main difference is that NewPipe is an Android app whereas FreeTube is a desktop app for Windows / Mac / Linux. They're more of companions for each other than someone who would only use one or the other.
Hope that helps.
