So I feel like I’m doing peertube wrong. I’m trying to find good content, but it feels like every single instance I find is just “here’s the linux news, here’s the new linux tips, here’s the linux gossip, linux linux linux!”
And I do not give a shit about linux. I learned long ago that I’m not smart enough to figure it out. I just want to find the non-tech, non-video game content. I don’t know what I’m doing. I want to search all the instances, all at once, and see what the system recommends.
I don’t have a peertube account. I have a piefed account. I’m not against getting a peertube account, but at this point, it’s ruining the whole point of the fediverse. If I need to register for a peertube account to have a decent experience, what’s the point in having all these services be interconnected. Registering for peertube account would be the THIRD account I would have for the fediverse. But at this point, I just want to find the content.
Yeah at this point peertube is mostly a video hosting system. We still need a good discovery/finding/recommendation system. I think that could be independently developed; for example: upload the videos on peertube and then link and post them here on lemmy to promote them.
I mean the concept of Peertube is simple, you federate with other servers and then your website is mostly just a “directory” for them. It aggregates them and puts them all in the same place.
The problem is every server I’ve seen only federates with maybe 2 or 3 other servers, unlike Mastodon or Lemmy that federate with thousands.
