I feel like peertube gets overlooked way too often. I love the idea and think it should be more used
I want to like peertube, but the discoverability is terrible, and last I checked, it was pushing mostly cinspiracy theories. And every time I try to see around, it's just impossible to find an instance that would host interesting videos. Also, I find hopping around instances feels awkward.
Also, it seems to consist of "video dumps", resulting the instances having the "new" videos being hundreds of videos posted by just one user. It's just... not there for me, eben though I love the idea :/
re peertube discovery, i saw this the other day:
https://sepiasearch.org/
framasoft developed both peertube, and this… i assume to address that exact concern
Tilvids.com and from there you can subscribe to anyone a cross the videoverse.
PeerTube is great if you like low-quality DVD rips and hour-long discussions on Linux.
At least, that's all I seem to ever find.
And sometimes that's exactly what I want, it definetly has its place
What PeerTube lacks is content creators. There is tilvids.com, but a lot of the content is just mirrored from YouTube and running a PeerTube instance can be expensive.
Eh... Having content like that made is difficult
I hope aggregators like greyjay will be able to incorporate peer tube recommendations into their app, that might help the platform be able to grow past things no one else will host.
