Oh :D

Well, you are doing a great job, and I like what I have seen so far! Keep up the good work!

I just rejoined PeerTube after I had a quick look years ago, and it’s gotten way better since then, actually. I found out Space Quest Historian is on it, too!

But yeah, discoverability isn’t good. Lack of an algorithm also makes bingewatching impossible - for better and worse, I guess.

As you linked them, I’d also recommend peertube.wtf - they even reacted very quickly when I reported a transphobic german conspiracy channel/server.

That’s an important thing to point out: Simply having many users isn’t bad, of course, but for small communities to grow, you mostly need a few power users to push open the doors and lay the groundwork for more passive users to follow.

You were there when the ancient texts were written, but remember, some of us were there when the alphabet was conceived.

Are the people I normally watch on YouTube unable to be seen on peertube?

Basically this. There are some creators that either switched or publish on both platforms, mainly from the Linux sphere (and, unfortunately, also some crackpots and/or scammers who got kicked from other platforms), but overall, it doesn’t have a lot of content, especially content that’s on a “professional” level.
