    The biggest issue I run into on Peertube, is that there just isn’t enough content that I actually want to watch. I tend to watch a lot of edutainment videos covering a wide range of topics and subjects, podcast episodes with interesting people like: Rutger Bregman, Zohran Mamdani, Mel Robbins, Scott Galloway, ect., essay format videos, standup comedy, thought provocing videos, etc.

    I probably just haven’t found a instance that works for me, but there tend to be a lot of programing, Linux related stuff (watch, there’s gonna be someone in the comments because I mentioned it,) hacking related stuff, world news, general news, tech reviews, what seems to be ‘venting videos’, vlogs, etc. There’s just a lot of stuff that I don’t have an interest in watching either at all or hardly ever, showing up in any instance feed that I’ve checked out.

    Can others relate? Does anyone have any suggetions of Peertube instances that might work for me?

      I think that’s a problem for everyone, but there is always something to fast. It’s not going to be every topic that interest you, but you can shift some of the time spent on YouTube to PeerTube instead. That’s a start. If no one isn’t watching anything on PeerTube, then the content surely won’t improve.

      Check out the two pinned posts at !peertube@lemmy.wtf. It has a list of recommended instances and a list of channels.

      I can relate. Unfortunately the YouTube algorithm is way too good to compete against; it simply has too much metadata on literally everything to ever come close in any possible way (unless you spend a few million on compute cycles analyzing every aspect of everything that happens on your own instance).
