It's a PeerTube-based site with open registration. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 5 child comments replies: [–] eodur@piefed.social 6 points 5 hours ago (4 children) I gave up on peertube (especially the app) when I couldn't find a server with open registration. And it is one of the messier services to host that I've tried. I dont even want to post videos. I just wanted to find cool videos and follow them. Instead of recommending "peertube" itself we should point to servers that have open registration or even better, peerseek.video since the platform is useless without decent discovery tools. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] Peter1986C@nord.pub 3 points 3 hours ago (2 children) If you just want to follow channels and perhaps comment on videos, your piefed account should work for that. Discoverability (of Pt videos, searched from Piefed) would be lackluster to say the least, but the "basics" should work. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Kichae@piefed.ca 1 point 2 hours ago Or even, like, PipePipe. I'm pretty sure you can search PT instances using it. permalink fedilink source parent [–] eodur@piefed.social 1 point 2 hours ago Yeah, that's what I do currently and this is why peertube should not be considered and replacement or "answer" to YouTube. It just is not a similar experience at all. permalink fedilink source parent [–] Kichae@piefed.ca 2 points 2 hours ago Instead of recommending “peertube” itself we should point to servers that have open registration I'm generally an advocate for doing this for the entire Fediverse. "Mastodon", "PixelFed", "Lemmy", "PieFed", etc., are not places people can go to experience the Fediverse. They're pieces of server software that let you stand up websites, just like WordPress is. You'd never tell people to check out "WordPress" when you want them to see some restaurant's menu or to look up your business or whatever. We shouldn't be doing the equivalent with the Fediverse. permalink fedilink source parent
