I'm one of those new active users. I started to watch peertube regularly. Largely thanks to !peertube@lemmy.wtf and their channel suggestions.

[–] warmaster@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Can you login to your account using the peertube app?

[–] squirrel@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] warmaster@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

How do you switch to the beta channel?

[–] squirrel@discuss.tchncs.de 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.

[–] AllPintsNorth@lemm.ee 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] Ulrich@feddit.org 3 points 2 months ago

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

Take a look over at !peertube@lemmy.world And our sister community: !peertube@lemmy.wtf

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

[–] Ulrich@feddit.org 1 points 2 months ago

Tubular did not work for me at all.

[–] sevon@lemmy.kde.social 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] Ulrich@feddit.org 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

[–] squirrel@discuss.tchncs.de 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.

[–] Dariusmiles2123@sh.itjust.works 5 points 2 months ago

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

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