I feel so bad for peertube. It’s such a great idea, but until it has a full platform wide search options, and regular content producers in areas OTHER than technology, it will never catch on.
Let’s not forget about the fact that there need to be general purpose viewer instances that users can sign up to for watching content, because uh while accessing through Mastodon or Lemmy is a cool feature people want to be able to save Video lists and have watch history, things that don’t work at all or well when using a Link aggregator or a Microblogging service to access the content.
The bigger issue is monetization. YouTube is popular in no small part because creators are trying to make money.
If this searches all of peertube, then it needs to be the default search on every peertube page.
The administrator can enable this on their instance. It is not enabled by default.
I’ve this enabled on my instance peertube.wtf
Thank you for the recommendation, it’s time to try out Peertube once again.
Peertube vs Youtube in numbers: 21k / 2.7b
Yeah they need to improve quite a bit because the platform is harder to use in comparison to Lemmy and Mastodon.
Who needs to improve exactly? The PeerTube software or the instances hosting PeerTube?
I would say both as Peertube needs an app and instances need to remain up and running.
