Hi everyone, I recently made a peertube instance and I see the potential!

But the discoverability is absolutely lackluster. It must be possible somehow to see and sort videos that are out there.

If I search for minecraft videos on my instance for example, it obviously shows only the other instances I federate with.

But to find new instances I search through joinpeertube.org‘s elasticsearch and get the most unrelated stuff.

I was recently asked to submit a pr to framasofts gitlab but the signup/signin is bugged.

This is what I mean with stuff needs to be easier. Any ideas?

    I believe this is a problem of the fediverse in general. If you go to the reddit website, you’ll see instantly what it’s all about. Compare that to lemmy where you’re immediately overwhelmed with technicalities and prompted to join a server before you actually get access to lemmy. Open source stuff is great but it often has a lack of user friendliness/ experience.

      Everything made solely by developers is customer unfriendly. We actually need more feedback from non devs imo. Thats what the corpos do better atm.
