Sorry, I didn't see that you were on Mastodon, that explains it.
Version 0.26.1 (and 0.26.0) hasn't been published on F-Droid yet because it couldn't be reproduced (meaning that the app as built by F-Droid wasn't completely identical to the one published by the NewPipe team).
The problem is tracked here:
https://github.com/TeamNewPipe/NewPipe/issues/10746
The ability to download playlists is not introduced in this release.
There is an open feature request for it that is tracked here:
NewPipe#5482
In the meantime, you can use NewPipe in conjunction with Seal to download playlists.

Never thought of it that way. That does make me more positive towards their monetization and pricing, as it's much preferable to an IPO in my eyes. I'm afraid they might eventually do one regardless, though.

I see. I don't believe there's currently any way to filter kiosk content by type like that. You could open a feature request for it on GitHub if you'd like (assuming one doesn't already exist).
