PeerTube is fantastic with its decentralized model that prioritizes user privacy and control. However, it still struggles to gain widespread popularity.

What do you think could be done to enhance PeerTube's appeal and functionality, possibly even becoming a serious alternative to YouTube?

Content. I'm there for the content, not the platform.

Who is on PeerTube that we should be watching?

How often are watch-worthy videos on PeerTube posted on Lemmy?

I’ve seen one or two interesting videos posted to Lemmy from PeerTube in the ~6 months I’ve been here. I think both were from someone called Linux Mom or something like that and I’m not sure but it looked like they weren’t posted by her but by someone else uploading her videos from YouTube to the service. One video was her showing how to use a device to backup old game cartridges and the other was a video for Linux beginners.

That’s about all I’ve seen that grabbed my attention, and the second was only because I liked the creator from the first. But again, I don’t know if it was an official upload that she supported, and if it wasn’t that’s not a good way to attract creators.

that might be me. Ive been pushing as much as possible on /c/video peertube stuff. Whenever I find it.

One of the best and worst things about peertube is that the suggested videos side of things that youtube has isnt a thing. You can search based on hashtags but getting the same fix like youtube is very hard. Its also good in that most creators that are on their are really interesting/dedicated to their craft. And copyright isnt really a thing on peertube, so music/videos/etc....are a LOT better. At least for a time.

This is probably the video? https://lemmy.world/post/15969866?scrollToComments=true

[email protected] now has her own peertube instance: https://tinkerbetter.tube/videos/local

Copyright absolutely is still a thing, the network is just under the radar at the moment and the people who could be suing over it don't have visibility on usage of their stuff. But, make no mistake, if it ever gets big enough to get noticed, those people and corporations will absolutely sue.

You are correct, I guess what I mean is that its not being enforced all that much.
