So I feel like I’m doing peertube wrong. I’m trying to find good content, but it feels like every single instance I find is just “here’s the linux news, here’s the new linux tips, here’s the linux gossip, linux linux linux!”

And I do not give a shit about linux. I learned long ago that I’m not smart enough to figure it out. I just want to find the non-tech, non-video game content. I don’t know what I’m doing. I want to search all the instances, all at once, and see what the system recommends.

I don’t have a peertube account. I have a piefed account. I’m not against getting a peertube account, but at this point, it’s ruining the whole point of the fediverse. If I need to register for a peertube account to have a decent experience, what’s the point in having all these services be interconnected. Registering for peertube account would be the THIRD account I would have for the fediverse. But at this point, I just want to find the content.

    One feature i would really love on PieFed would be a filter that allowed me to see all the peertube content available there, sorted in the usual ways. Kind of like a meta-topic. I’m pretty sure that would immediately become my favourite way of finding content from there, for whenever I just want to find something to watch. :)

      It would be easy to add a post type filter to the search function, then sort it by date… Would that do?

        Ideally of course the usual Hot/Top/New/Active, but a search filter would already be a huge improvement on what’s out there!

        I think I would use it pretty regularly in periods when I have time to kill.
