Hey @peertube this year I will try to push our Peertube instance to get more eyeballs and people interested to join. But we need to also help each other. We have a few original Peertube channels that prioritize Peertube and are not simply "second hand youtube channels".
Maybe you can recommend them and more on your joinpeertube.org/en_US#find-pe… page.
For one you may be aware but we published a 5 hours documentary exclusively on Peertube - videos.trom.tf/w/p/fVpfZ9VfWrW… Subtitled in several languages. We even talk about The Fediverse and Peertube in the documentary.
We have our entire TROM channel there - videos.trom.tf/c/trom/videos - Hundreds of videos. And this year I will start a new video series. Some videos will also be about the fediverse, peertube, and FOSS.
We recently started our motorhome adventures (very family friendly channel) - videos.trom.tf/c/tromhome and we are posting there twice a week or so.
Be Brave To Act made by @sober_pirate has really great and original content about volunteering. We will try to help him keep the channel updated - he mainly posts on youtube.
Or VideoNeat - videos.trom.tf/c/videoneat - documentary trailers.
We need more original Peertube creators and not simply those who "mirror" their Youtube channels there. If people know that the channel X posts only on Peertube and not on Youtube, it may make these people follow on Peertube. But if people know that channel X posts on Youtube and Peertube is just like a mirror....is different.
You and others need to help us and people like us, if possible, to get the Peertube content out. So that people get to use Peertube more often.
I choose to post on Peertube first, or only, despite not reaching as many people as I would on Youtube, but I do it because I think it is worth the effort to promote this sane alternative to the giant ad-platform that Youtube is.
And thank you for what you've created. By "helping" us, I mean perhaps promote good and original Peertube content on your homepage and also share it if possible. So the newcomers get to see that Peertube is not just the awesome software you've built, but people use it to create original/good content.
Thanks!
