So I’ve been trying to get into peertube and away from google, but I’m having trouble finding a frontend to actually use peertube, or perhaps I’m missing something with how to use peertube. Does anyone have any recommendations for this?
PeerTube has its own frontend (User Interface). Do you mean a “provider” like PeerTube.wtf?
I have created a Mastodon list just for PeerTube “subscriptions”. I just swap over and then have a list only full of videos. On mobile the Surf app could do something similar.
That’s actually genius. I love ActivityPub.
I use grayjay, which works for most streaming services, such as PeerTube, YouTube, Nebula, etc. One app for all the things.
There’s the mobile app for Android, and on my Desktop I just use the website.
Im only aware of the main one, is there alternatives? Do you mean like themes?
So, it seems like I’m not aware of what the main one is. Whats the link for it?
Do you just want something like peer.tube
Yoy can find the whole list of public instances here:
I would add that several browser addons that send you to a peertube version of a youtube video exist as well. Can make life somewhat awkward though as quite often the peertube version is actually of a lower quallity. If you are a creator if you use an instance that allows youtube import you can also automagically import videos from YT to your PT channel as well

PeerTube isn’t a single website like YouTube - it’s a decentralized platform with many different “instances” (seperate websites) that all talk to each other, so you just pick one instance like peertube.wtf or peer.tube to start watching and creating content.

Oh my god, I figured out what I’ve been doing wrong, somehow I’ve always browsed in local without realizing so I thought peertube didn’t have cross-instance functionality. So I was confused on how to actually browse all of peertube
