Not the same but since YouTube still has RSS support you can add your favorite channels to an rss reader and get notified about new videos (and unfortunately also shorts)
Thanks but all these alternative front ends are not really a solution most of the time as I still rely on native YouTube features a lot (playlists, recommendations, notifications, etc.)
Yep! That's what Invidious uses. That's what I use to subscribe to channels. The main view does not separate shorts from normal videos neither though. I guess some could implement this in the future.

Having no way to filter shorts is such a weird behavior. Especially on the TV apps…where portrait format video makes even less sense.
You can filter out shorts with Yattee https://github.com/yattee/yattee and Invidious https://github.com/iv-org/invidious.

for shorts i use youtube-shorts block. the key thing is it plays it as a normal video, but you can also block/hide shorts.
