I’m one of those new active users. I started to watch peertube regularly. Largely thanks to [email protected] and their channel suggestions.
Can you login to your account using the peertube app?
Yes, I’m using the current peertube beta app.
How do you switch to the beta channel?
It was available as an option on peertube’s play store page.
Okay, I’ll try again.
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.”

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.
If that’s the solution… then the project has already failed.
Well, it hasn’t, because it can be fixed…
Take a look over at [email protected] And our sister community: [email protected]
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!
That’s what I use. The peertube plugin wasn’t great.
It doesn’t support login/interaction but subscriptions and searches work fine.
You can also do that in Tubular, if you prefer a FOSS option
Tubular did not work for me at all.
Good!
If only their android app would allow me to sign in with an account
It’s possible since the latest update a couple days ago.
Only on the beta maybe?
Oh, you’re right. I forgot I signed up for the beta.
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.
