I know, the platform isn’t ready, the platform needs more creators, the platform has technical improvements to do…We could have said the same for Lemmy before the Reddit blackout, the same for Mastodon on Twitter.

The main limitation I see at the moment are PeerTube instances, badly communicating, from what I’ve been able to realize, and there are no reference instances as it was for Lemmy.

    So if I make my own instance then I can have it like lemmy where it automatically federates everything?

      Yes.

      In peertube you can setup your own search-instance (needs heavy ressources) an configure, which instances are searched. Or you can just configure your instance to use https://search.joinpeertube.org

      You can set https://instances.joinpeertube.org to autofollow all this instances, or host your own instances-instance or just put in manually instances, you will follow.

      Peertube is very mature in this things. Much better than every other fediverse-service.

      But you have to know, there are so many propaganda/putin/trump/antivaxxer-instances out there, that you really have to curate your followings very well! That’s the dark side of federation and selfhosting.

      Peertube is an ActivityPub-Service. The same as Lemmy, Mastodon, Friendica, Pixelfed and so on. It federates the same way as every other AP-Service too. And you can follow an peertube-channel from Lemmy as well as from Peertube, Mastodon or friendica!
