PeerTube is a more distributed clone of YouTube, and this site explains what it is well: https://framablog.org/2019/11/12/peertube-has-worked-twice-as-hard-to-free-your-videos-from-youtube/ https://framablog.org/2019/11/12/peertube-has-worked-twice-a....
Technology used includes a HLS video player, and WebTorrent. Like Mastodon it also uses the ActivityPub protocol.
- XCSme 6y agoPeerTube sounds interesting, but going to their website I am lost. Why all those promotional videos and descriptions and confusing links? I expected to just see the videos in their directory and be able to search for videos, something like the YouTube interface. And I'm a technical user, I imagine the average user would close the page instantly.
- LockAndLol 6y agoThink of it as email: Peertube = email software In order to have an email account you don't go to "email.com", you have to go to an email service provider. Peertube works in the same way so they have a list of providers: https://instances.joinpeertube.org/instances https://instances.joinpeertube.org/instances If you can understand email, you can understand peertube.
- XCSme 6y agoSo the site is mostly promoting the technology, right? Is there any popular platform that uses PeerTube and actually has interesting or exclusive content?
- LockAndLol 6y agoIf you want to think of it as promotion, yeah. You check out the promoted content. It actually has a list of instances too where you can watch videos. I'd suggest picking one and simply having a look.
