Peertube has this fediverse problem. You google it, go to the webpage and instead of getting a list of promoted videos, you get an explanation of what it is and a manual on how to actually join, starting with โ€žselect a potโ€œ. You then get to search the list of pots that all have like 10 viewers and 5gb upload limit. I stopped at this point.

That being said, i really would like an European youtube alternative, but not off the โ€žprovide your own hardwareโ€œ kind.

It's pretty telling that, as a European, I've literally not heard of any of those European alternatives.

Aren't almost all of these quite terrible?

DeepL is a good translator, though it has a more limited set of supported languages

https://delta.chat/ is also European but is decentralized unlike threema which means you donโ€™t rely on one company to keep the servers up or your communications stop working.
