    @asudox I love the idea of peertube. I have a couple of accounts. It used to be easier to load new content by URL when it supporfted input from YouTube, but YT has gone out of their way to maintain their virtual monoply. In order for such a service to be more useful than just sharing videos with your immediate friends and family you need a way for creaters to make money, which i think is going to be easier on #NOSTR . I think a better question is how do we make nostr useful for more than just bitcoinbois.

        @jagged_circle sorry the entire decentralized NOSTR interface is based on the lightning network. So while most clients support “likes” what it more prevalent is “Zaps” a Zap is a micropayment of bitcoin over the lightning network (one zap is equal to one Satoshi equivalent to 100 millionth of a bitcoin). This incentivizes both the infrastructure and the content. Make something people like, get paid without a central corporation exploiting.

    It would be nice if there was an easy and straightforward way for instances to create their own shared indexes. There’s a feature for this in PeerTube, which I guess is supposed to act like instance following + a shared search catalogue. It would be handy to know how to easily make sort of the federation equivalent of a webring.

    The devs are also working on a mobile app, which I think is something the platform is sorely missing.

      A custom bubble time-line like Akkoma has would be nice for Peertube indeed.

    I want the ability to have everything behind a login. I don’t want people not signed in watching videos and wasting bandwidth.

      You can. You can set a video as “internal only”. So only users registered on the server, can watch it.

        Yes but they won’t federate out which defeats the point of peertube.

          @Fizz @meldrik in Free Software nothing ever “defeats the point” it just may not fit your particular use case. One of the advantages of Free Software is that it can be used by anyone for any reasons.

    I think it’s mainly the content. We need some good content, creative people and interesting videos on the platform. Yeah and maybe discoverability. People also need to get those videos displayed/recommended to them. Other than that, a good app is always nice. That’s already been worked on. But regarding the technology, I think Peertube works quite nicely these days. And it has a good amount of features as well.

      The question is how to get the creators there. A lot of people are on YouTube because of the ad revenue, but with no ads on PeerTube there’s no revenue to share. A lot of other for-profit companies have tried to lure these creators away with little success, so I’m not sure how a non-profit service is supposed to attract people who have turned content creation into a career.
