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?

Yes, same. Sometimes at least. :D

Just use sepiasearch.org and type in what you want to see. That should help. You can go to any instance (example peertube.giftedmc.com) and watch federated videos there as well.

Peertube has not the most intuitive gui since it differentiates between local and federated content (which is bad imo) as well as trending.
