I enjoy PeerTube for what it is. But we have to talk about how PeerTube is I would say the one open source app that is getting the least amount of new users

So wanted to bring up some points on how we can improve it in some ways:

  • It is too complex with not enough up to date guides and videos on how to set it up for most people
  • Need new open source frontend client mobile apps to make it simpler to sign up, sign in, & watch videos/channels on it
  • The website for sign up is not very user-friendly and like a semi-maze for people who are new

Anything else you would like to add or say about PeerTube in general?

It’s a phenomenal project and backend will of course stay the same but it needs a better pipeline of people and creators to it

    Thats a thing about how peertube federates. They prefer to be relatively conservative with sending out their federation feelers, so by default they aren’t looking for content on other servers. Idk the details of how federation works so I am probably at least a little wrong, so don’t take my word as law
