### Importing subscriptions
1. Go to the [Google takeout manager](https://takeout.google.com/takeout/custom/youtube).
2. Log in if asked.
3. Click on "All data included", then on "Deselect all", then select only "subscriptions" and click "OK".
4. Click on "Next step" and then on "Create export".
5. Click on the "Download" button after it appears.
6. From the downloaded takeout zip extract the .json file. It is usually located under `YouTube and YouTube Music/subscriptions/subscriptions.json`
7. Go to the subscriptions manager in yt-local. In the import area, select your .json file, then press import.
