Comment on Initial PeerTube impressions and tips from a newbie creator

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:

Not the flagship instance or one that’s similarly huge.

Not one that’s miniscule either.

Running as close to the latest version of the software as possible.

Then and only then do I start comparing rules, cool content, etc.

  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.
