peertube
Unfortunately, not really.
The Fediverse alternatives to YouTube are not functional equivalents like Lemmy or Mastodon are to Reddit and Twitter.
You could try Nebula.
Do you want to find an audience for your content, or do you just want to upload your content?
The former can be achieved with where we are right now, the latter with a number of file uploading sites that allow hotlinking their uploads.
You'll need to specify what you're looking for but YT is a global monopoly for online content creators
You can use this page as a catalogue btw: https://grayjay-sources.github.io/
However, as overarching and as big as Youtube, there's none, so you'll have to contend with nicher platforms for niche subjects. Like e.g. for Youtube Shorts-style videos, Odysee, Loops or TikTok.
Loops btw, isn't supported on Grayjay yet, but uses ActivityPub, meaning you can follow users from Mastodon, Mbin, Misskey, etc.
Software? Dozens.
Content? Nothing.
Well not nothing, there are some other providers like nebula but that too one day will become a corporate money slop because that is what these companies do.
What I mean is that the problem is and always has been the content, the media.
Like 2 year ago I rented a yearly vps for 60$ a year, 4 core 6gb ram 160gb ssd, same deal same from the same site now gives you 60gb ssd, so it isn't as viable to cheaply host your content.
Prob plenty for yourself if videos are compressed, but hosting for multiple ppl definitely got more expensive to the point where it's not as viable to spin up a peertube instance compared to any other.
