Is there any community (besides the .ml communities) that talk about Peertube? (lemmy.world)

So I feel like I'm doing peertube wrong. I'm trying to find good content, but it feels like every single instance I find is just "here's the linux news, here's the new linux tips, here's the linux gossip, linux linux linux!"

And I do not give a shit about linux. I learned long ago that I'm not smart enough to figure it out. I just want to find the non-tech, non-video game content. I don't know what I'm doing. I want to search all the instances, all at once, and see what the system recommends.

I don't have a peertube account. I have a piefed account. I'm not against getting a peertube account, but at this point, it's ruining the whole point of the fediverse. If I need to register for a peertube account to have a decent experience, what's the point in having all these services be interconnected. Registering for peertube account would be the THIRD account I would have for the fediverse. But at this point, I just want to find the content.

Ideally of course the usual Hot/Top/New/Active, but a search filter would already be a huge improvement on what's out there!

I think I would use it pretty regularly in periods when I have time to kill.

I took a quick swing at that idea but found that when PieFed imports a new PeerTube video it doesn't put any special marker on it to identify it as a PeerTube video. So although I've added a post type filter to the search tool (check this out https://piefed.social/search - set the Type to 'Video and 'Sort by' to 'newest' ) the results you get are all mixed in with other video content.

Oh well.

Along the way I also found a tweak that suddenly makes the keyword search way better so that's a bonus.

Thanks! Just checking it out quickly made me discover [email protected], which seems to be a great repository of public domain feature length movies from the old days. Wonderful! 🍿

Good find!

@[email protected] added a software filter to the search!

Amazing!

The pace and responsiveness of development in PieFed is unlike anything I've seen before. It's a brilliant platform, thank you so much for developing it!
