### Problem Description

In https://github.com/FreeTubeApp/FreeTube/pull/2714 we filtered out the invidious instances that don't support the API.

Usecase: User clicks on 'View all Invidious instance information' and goes to https://api.invidious.io/. User selects an instance that doesnt support the API.

I think we have to inform the user that they need to select an instance that supports the api before they go to https://api.invidious.io/

### Proposed Solution

Make the user aware in the '?' toast or put the warning after 'View all Invidious instance information' which seems like a better idea to me.

### Alternatives Considered

This is an addition to the proposed solution: If user still selected an instance from https://api.invidious.io/ that doesnt support the api, we should display a warning like this instance isnt supported or something.
