I'm one of those new active users. I started to watch peertube regularly. Largely thanks to [email protected] and their channel suggestions.

Can you login to your account using the peertube app?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Yes, I'm using the current peertube beta app.

How do you switch to the beta channel?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

It was available as an option on peertube's play store page.

You should try GrayJay. You can get your YouTube and PeerTube subscriptions in the same feed. Along with a dozen other platforms.

My issue is finding peertube content.

"Do you want video on linux?"

"No."

"Alright. Do you want videos on.....linux?"

"NO!"

"Ok, hmmmm......Do you want these 8000+ videos from Veronica making linux content?"

"NO!!!"

"Ok......Veronica just posted a new video 14 seconds ago. I'm just going to leave this here for you."

leaves peertube

Yes, discoverability is probably the single biggest problem on PeerTube. If you can be bothered you can post/search the PeerTube community for some suggestions that might match your interests.

If that’s the solution… then the project has already failed.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago

Well, it hasn't, because it can be fixed...

Take a look over at [email protected] And our sister community: [email protected]

There's a wide variety of content that is out there.

And if you yourself found something, feel free to post it up on either community!

You can also do that in Tubular, if you prefer a FOSS option

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago

Tubular did not work for me at all.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

That's what I use. The peertube plugin wasn't great.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago

It doesn't support login/interaction but subscriptions and searches work fine.

If only their android app would allow me to sign in with an account

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 months ago (1 children)

It's possible since the latest update a couple days ago.

Oh, you're right. I forgot I signed up for the beta.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 months ago

Oh great you made me discover that on the Beta on ios I can log in.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago

I'm surprised that more creators focused on selfhosting/homelabs are still using youtube.
