I want to make some videos, but I do not want to add them to TY, I am looking for an alternative, unfortunately I know Vimeo, but this is not what I am looking for.

        Peertube has many thousands of videos. They’re just not all accessible from any particular instance. This is why I use Grayjay. You can search PT and YT videos at the same time.

      That #Loops looks more decent. The PeerTube took me to a landing page, it was very difficult to find videos there. Thanks! :)

        I like loops, but it looks to be heavily ai assisted lately. Doesn’t bother me, because it actually made decent progress and looks way less dated now. I just find it funny how as long as a dev obscures or doesn’t mention it, no one seems to notice. Catadon looks pretty interesting too, hella bloated and the ui has some odd choices but it has some potential. It’s at least getting some ideos out there and showing they can work.

          People need to stop recommending server directories to the newbies. People genuinely don’t grok how ActivityPub works out of the gate, and they trip all over that shit. There’s only a handful of open registration PeerTube sites, anyway. We should just point them to, like, clip.place.

          I gave up on peertube (especially the app) when I couldn’t find a server with open registration. And it is one of the messier services to host that I’ve tried. I dont even want to post videos. I just wanted to find cool videos and follow them.

          Instead of recommending “peertube” itself we should point to servers that have open registration or even better, peerseek.video since the platform is useless without decent discovery tools.

            I’m generally an advocate for doing this for the entire Fediverse. “Mastodon”, “PixelFed”, “Lemmy”, “PieFed”, etc., are not places people can go to experience the Fediverse. They’re pieces of server software that let you stand up websites, just like WordPress is. You’d never tell people to check out “WordPress” when you want them to see some restaurant’s menu or to look up your business or whatever. We shouldn’t be doing the equivalent with the Fediverse.

            If you just want to follow channels and perhaps comment on videos, your piefed account should work for that. Discoverability (of Pt videos, searched from Piefed) would be lackluster to say the least, but the “basics” should work.

              Or even, like, PipePipe. I’m pretty sure you can search PT instances using it.

              Yeah, that’s what I do currently and this is why peertube should not be considered and replacement or “answer” to YouTube. It just is not a similar experience at all.
