I love the idea, but most servers only host a couple of videos, it’s very hard to find enjoyable content on there and it’s difficult to figure out which server could be a good server to make an account on…
I wouldn’t mind a centralized aggregator of videos and maybe it could have a suggestions algorithm as well or whatever. Not that this would be ideal in the long term but it could help get the videos some views and make more content creators see this as a good alternative. It’s not safe on youtube, people aren’t even saying suicide anymore ffs
Edit: Even some renowned german media have their own peertube servers that they feed with high quality videos, but of course they have basically 0 views. (https://peertube.heise.de/, https://tube.taz.de/)
Peertube has never worked for me. Every time there’s a link on Lemmy, I follow it but get a generic error about the video not loading or being unavailable.
That’s weird. Do you have JavaScript disabled?
Nope. I use a weird browser, though. Orion for iOS. It’s built with WebKit, the same engine safari uses. Other sites work fine.
Do you have an example?
