Maybe i misunderstood your question but i've also heard many say they weren't getting all the content from the channels they subbed to exactly on the subscriptions feed. Personally i've never noticed this but that's why some channels started recommending to also hit the bell.

The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.

Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.

Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

I don't use YouTube website at all. I'm not even logged in there. I use purely RSS feeds of my selected channels, and my RSS reader embeds those videos in its web UI. I hate all the noise of the standard YT.
When the home page defaulted to the recommended view rather than subscriptions, many years ago, I simply saved the URL for the subscription feed as a favorite and that's it. I never had issues, all videos from all my subscriptions show up.
I don't
I didn't even know that "the bell" was a thing, until just now. I use my Subscriptions feed almost exclusively.
I literally don't visit YouTube until I get a notification from someone I follow, and even then I close most notifications without looking at the video
It's not about the bell, with it Youtube also introduction the algorythm to the subscription feed and essentially made some videos not show up consistantly anymore if I am not totally wrong (it's been a while and I was a lot younger back then)

I use it to catch up on the latest vids from account im following. Occasionally I’ll also browse the algorithm feed as well.
Yeah I use it exclusively with no issues. I do find it weird that no one else seems to use it much and relies on notifications so much.
I subscribe to a lot of channels, and they usually put out significantly more videos that I don't want to watch than videos that I do. I'll usually subscribe to a channel for a specific video in case they make more of that specific kind of video, but I won't care about their other stuff.
For example, I subscribe to the Game Grumps channel, but I only want to watch them play games that I've also played, or that I at least know enough about to follow along with the gameplay without focusing all of my attention on it. If they're playing a game I've never heard of - which they often do - then I don't care to watch it.
The algorithm does a better job of showing me the videos I actually want to see than the subscription feed does because it takes into account which specific videos I've seen and skipped for each of my subscriptions.
I use it rarely. YouTube is good at choosing suggested videos for me that I would watch.
I watch YouTube way too much to ever be satisfied by any form of subscription feed. On places like Twitter all I want is the feed of people I follow, but not so much on video platforms.
Yes. I mean no, ehm, I mean "yes, I use the subscription feed".
Pro tip: subscribe to @DinksterDaily to keep it organized. Thank me later.
I use it sparingly. All the subscriptions/bells/whatever generate too much spam from the channels.
I guess the answer would be yes for me, because I've never subscribed to any youtube videos. If I wanted to watch a youtube video, I'd search for it and click on it. Most of the time I probably use youtube without being logged in to a google account. Have no interest in "following" any youtubers.
I'm exactly the same way. I just don't subscribe or comment or vote or anything like that.
Same, never logged in but still yt knows who I watch and will present it on the homepage
