Peertube has this fediverse problem. You google it, go to the webpage and instead of getting a list of promoted videos, you get an explanation of what it is and a manual on how to actually join, starting with „select a pot“. You then get to search the list of pots that all have like 10 viewers and 5gb upload limit. I stopped at this point.

That being said, i really would like an European youtube alternative, but not off the „provide your own hardware“ kind.

Exactly my problem why I'm not really getting into Lemmy either, same with mastodon. The whole decentralization standing in the middle of it all is just annoying.

Also yeah, Peertube did not even look like a competitor at all. Same with Threema with it costing 6 euros to use

Joinpeertube.org doesn’t have the best onboarding, but take a look at the pinned post at [email protected] for a few good servers to choose from.

If it has to be explained in a post on another site then it’s guaranteed to lose.

Thank you

Edit: this is much more helpful than the website
