Pretty nice, but since my instance follows everything from instances.joinpeertube.org automatically, I can't recommend that anyone "trust" my instance.

PeerTube's biggest weakness is not decentralization, but fragmentation imho.

Ill give it a shot and let you know how it goes!

Also if you want to add my little instance and see more dog videos: https://piped.chrisco.me/c/teddy_the_dog/videos feel free to add

https://piped.chrisco.me

to the list

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.

As someone whose instance is already on your list, I greatly support this! Everyone should definitely use this list, and that's an unbiased opinion.

Is it possible to somehow integrate Fediseer into this?

Really great idea!

So kinda like an algorithm but open. Can't check yours in depth now, but having done local algorithms before, it's great for transparency and predictability, so congrats on the idea. 👌

Also from what I could skim on the code, I didn't notice anything on the sort, so I wonder if there's weights for this chain of trust in the code, like someone followed both by someone I follow and someone I blocked (iirc Peertube allows blocking? Pls correct me if I'm wrong) would be less relevant to the script.
