Hey all, feel free to delete if sharing YT videos isn't permitted, but I made a video on the Fediverse last week and specifically talking about Mastodon, Lemmy, Pixelfed, and Peertube.

Just thought I'd share in case anyone wanders by and wants an overview.

What would it need to become a viable youtube alternative?

Good question. I was only on it for about 30 minutes, so I don't really have extensive feedback other than it felt very low quality and too basic.

Are there any well-populated instances you would recommend? I could be convinced to give it another try.

It does look like old youtube mix with some parts of newer youtube, I'll give you that. To me, that's what I like about it. It's pretty much low-bullshit, but my eye is not for design.

Are there any well-populated instances you would recommend? I could be convinced to give it another try.

Unfortunately, I don't browse through instance homepages anymore but through the GrayJay app, so my feed is a mix of videos from about 10 different video platforms and at least 3 peertube instances.

If you want to find instances, Join Peertube allows sorting by number of local videos and number of total videos. Dalek.zone, Makers.tube, and peertube.wtf seem like the most active or have the most users and the most videos.
