The FOSS and decentralized alternative of one monopolistic video streaming platform. Much needed and proud to be one of the early adopters. Would love to see the growth of peer tube. Hope creators who care about privacy follows the suit soon. Wishing a very good luck for your future.

The app actually works great. Peer tube makes sense for personal/family use. Otherwise, it's too convoluted in general. Don't think of it as YouTube replacement or even alternative, it's a different platform fulfilling a different need.

I got an SSL error and no internet connection error, but my internet is usable as usual

Take this as feedback and not hate! The peer tube system has some severe problems that make it worse than YouTube. There are 3 fundamental problems.(1)Lack of a unified search engines to browser videos from all instances.(2)Lack of an easy way to subscribe to channels from different instances.(3)Most peer tube clients are buggy including this one. The only good client I found was P2Play. If these issues are solved then, Peer tube>>>>>slop tube.BASICALLY, MAKE IT EASY TO USE FOR NON-TECHY PEOPLE!!!!!

• This app is locked to HTTP/1.1, but my instance only supports HTTP/2.0 and HTTP/3.0 to block bots. • Does not support SSO.

It's disappointing how lackluster the features included in the app are. Compared to YouTube and New Pipe, it has no options for video quality, closed captions, and few settings options. What really throws me off is the poor search feature, as it never searches for a specific video or channel (e.g., finding "Crab Rave" for videos and "Linus Tech Tips" for channels). If I have to recommend an open-source YouTube alternative, skip this option and use New Pipe.
