Ok, I went to the website, downloaded the app from there. Samsung and or Android warned me about it, but I went ahead. Seems to be legit, it just takes forever to load anything. Feeds, thumbnails, starting a video all take a long time.
My one guess is that 1.1.1.1 is interfering?
Edit: yes, that was it. I allowed Newpipe to bypass 1.1.1.1 DNS and it’s loading just as fast as YouTube itself now. Should have tried that before posting here.
Ok, there are 4 different apps in the Google app store by that name.
It’s not in the store. NewPipe.net and install the APK file.

Ok thank you.
Use Fdroid, aurora store, etc… Google play is just full of dangerous scam apps
