I love the Fediverse. I love Peertube. Our strength is we're decentralized. Our weakness is we're decentralized. How do we find like instances and things WITHOUT an algorithm?

Well I run tubefree.org. I know Makertube.net is a good instance. I follow that instance. However, I trust the admins there, why not follow who they follow? Thus we have a chain of trust.

How do I do this easily though? I came up with a script: https://git.btfree.org/BTFree/PTIndex

Want to USE the index on YOUR Peertube so you follow everyone I follow, and follow those I trust and who they follow? Go to your Peertube - Settings - General - Federation - Check "Automatically follow platforms of a public index" - Index URL: https://ptindex.btfree.org .

Want to be involved in the chain of trust? Message me! I'm here @ozoned@piefed.social , @ozoned:matrix.org , ozoned.01 on Signal, @ozoned@btfree.social on Fedi, ozoned@btfree.org via email.

So im not seeing the option for "Automatically follow platforms of a public index" after federation.

I believe(?) I found it under Settings->Configuration->Basic:

Automatically follow instances of a public index
⚠️ This functionality requires a lot of attention and extra moderation.
See the documentation for more information about the expected URL

Im going to replace the main https://instances.joinpeertube.org with your index and see what happens.

    Yup that's the one! The default one Peertube basically says anyone can join that. I'm paying attention and doing the moderation for the PTIndex so if anyone has issues with it, let me know! :)
