From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

So far i haven't come across something better than odysee. It has a community, but like most alternatives for larger platforms, the userbase is smaller, and often times i'll also find some unhinged conspiratorial comments on there that are kinda off putting to me lol.
If having a community is a requirement for OP, then I'd say Odysee kinda sucks because it's full of National Socialists. Though I primary go there for watching videos, so a few nose emoji spammers don't bother me.
I also dislike that it shows recommendations/related videos. That's an anti-feature of YouTube for me, so I don't want it on Odysee either. That can be fixed by using a desktop app without recommendations like https://github.com/trizen/lbry-viewer (not sure if that's the correct one, I haven't installed it yet on my current system.)
