App v1 is out! | JoinPeerTube
PeerTube is a decentralized and federated alternative to YouTube. The goal of PeerTube is not to replace YouTube but to offer a viable alternative using the strength of ActivityPub and P2P protocols.
Being built on ActivityPub means PeerTube is able to be part of a bigger social network, the Fediverse (the Federated Universe). On the other hand, P2P technologies help PeerTube to solve the issue of money, inbound with all streaming platform : With PeerTube, you don't need to have a lot of bandwidth available on your server to host a PeerTube platform because all users (which didn't disable the feature) watching a video on PeerTube will be able to share this same video to other viewers.
If you are curious about PeerTube, we can't recommend you enough to check the official website to learn more about the project. If after that you want to try to use PeerTube as a content creator, you can try to find a platform available there to register or host yourself your own PeerTube platform on your own server.
The development of PeerTube is actually sponsored by Framasoft, a french non-for-profit popular educational organization, a group of friends convinced that an emancipating digital world is possible, convinced that it will arise through actual actions on real world and online with and for you!

When will we find the app on F-Droid? I can't wait to see i lt there.
F-droid is notoriously slow but it's there now.
The app is already on F-Droid.
If you want to stay up to date, use Obtainium with this link.
Edit: Changed source link.
Nope. V1.0 isn't there yet.
I noticed this issue with my project that the Linux experiment dominates the hot section. I had to limit channel names or channel-account name combinations to max two just so that there's diversity in suggestions. If you limit it to more then other Linux content will populate hottest section
Also I'd like a filter for linguistic content just so I can get video that I can understand.
Other than that I do like that the app lets you log into peertube and I can explore content in specific instances
There is a filter but it doesn't work. I've brought this up to the maintainers but it was ignored.
I think some uploaders may just not be including language tags. Or they consider language subtitles to be sufficient.
That's annoying because it's like you could fix it but you don't know if they'll acknowledge you fix.
This is a huge step forward for the project!
wow I just browsed https://joinpeertube.org/browse-content , the firsts two video results are totally unfiltered.
