Comment on Initial PeerTube impressions and tips from a newbie creator

Thanks, this was really informative! I’ve only been on the viewer side of Peertube, but I’m a fan for sure. From that perspective, another thing is that I really wish there was a better app for it. Thorium hasn’t been updated in ages, and it’s super glitchy.

Yes, I forgot to mention the app situation (or lack thereof). I saw reference to Thorium in a few Github discussions but was very disappointed by it. A good app would be a gamechanger.
I’m curious how you chose an instance as a viewer? Just based on where the channel(s) are that you want to follow?

I went with spectra.video, but my subscriptions are allllll over the place. I have roughly the same approach to choosing an instance on every platform:

Sounds very similar to my process! Great minds, and all that.

I saw your channel on maker tube (I think) today when I was looking for Jan Beta’s channel! You can use NewPipe as an app for Peertube, but it’s a bit fiddly in your normal Fediverse style when trying to find and sub to people/channels. Also, I don’t think you really subscribe via NewPipe. Subscriptions are just local and it doesn’t use a Fediverse account.

Truly is a small world, hah! I’ve heard of NewPipe but that’s as far as that goes really, will have to check it out. Thanks for the tip!

NewPipe is great for downloading especially with ReVanced integration.
