What keeps you away from PeerTube? What features does PeerTube lack? If you were the developer of PeerTube, how would you improve it?
Easier to join and clearer instructions. I don’t really get how it’s supposed to work from a user perspective.
More content, larger instances that can accept new users, etc. The model is great though.
instances should have a split front page with their own videos and videos from other instances, so people can dive right in from any instance.
the search on instances should also offer hits from other instances, somehow marked. following them should lead to that other instance.
there should be a flagship homepage that doesn’t need to host own content, but shows content from other instances. it is something ppl can bookmark or share as a starting point.
I think PeerTube should add support for paid-access content as you could then persuade the creators on Nebula to join. Since they are promoting their YT-alternative already, this would mean extra PeerTube publicity and users for free.
Ability to comment without an account
That would lead to unstoppable spam.
Ok, but i still responded exactly to the question
yeah, what is your point?
My point is that i was never been able to be accepted in an instance, the registering is either disabled or the requests never accepted. So i can’t use. Not being able to comment is a deal breaker to me.
You could comment from your Lemmy or Mastodon account.
Sometimes it works sometimes it foesn’t on lemmy. On mastodon the comment was not shown in peertube
For Mastodon, you have to set the visibility to “public”.
