"Subjective idealism" is a term from European philosophy that doesn't fit Yogācāra. In latter, there's no "subject," empirical or transcendental; the subject is entirely imaginary.

It is an incorrect understanding, anatmavada denies existence of a self or a soul — empirical subject, but not the existence of transcendental witness of phenomena (dharmas) — subject-in-itself, consciousness-in-itself. There is no such discourse in Buddhism surprisingly.

There are too many misconceptions around Buddhism. E.g. what is Emptiness. Many tend to think it is nothingness of void. In reality it is Transcendence — consciousness-in-itself. It is called Emptiness because any thought of Transcendence lacks a content, it is “empty”.
