I'm in the process of degoogling and I'm stuck trying to find a reasonable alternative to Chromecast. It would be great if I could stream music/video from my phone to my TV from apps like RiMusic, Tidal, and NewPipe. Are there any good solutions? Even better if friends and family can use it with minimal additional setup.

There's a litany of them, but the issue is more about what apps will connect to them reliably. The support on apps is really what you're looking for, as a single app can support multiple streaming targets.

Since you're talking about some pretty widely adopted apps, maybe look at an Airplay alternative as well, since there's also a ton of those, and a lot of them are actively developed.

Can you give some examples 😅

Well, I don't understand your technical wants or needs, but you can Google or hit GitHub and find dozens pretty easily. Look into what Home Assistant is using these days as an easy starter list maybe. Also worth using Raspberry Pi as an included search term to find projects specifically geared for turning an RPi into a Chromecast or Airplay target.
