@enoent@ravenation.club built an awesome autoscaler for handling Peertube jobs. We've been running it for about a week or two and it's freaking AMAZING. It's totally open for anyone to use for their own purposes as well!

At BT Free we're also hosting and running the PT Index which is our attempt to help break down some walls amongst Peertube. Built on a chain of trust with others that follow our values.

We're also working on automation for handling uploads to Peertube via the CLI. If one exists, PLEASE let me know so we can use that as I'm not great at creating software, I can get it to work though. :D

Im having issues getting instances to allow me to follow them.

More info:
I had to remake my peertube instance after the latest update caused a bunch of 500 errors to pop up. I went from an old url piped.chrisco.me to peertube.chrisco.me. Setup looks correct, I can search on the general fediverse no issues. But I cant seem to get any other instances to follow mine? Or at least the big ones? It appears to work with smaller instances:

But on the bigger ones the request goes out:

But does not get confirmed by the other instance:

so it just sits there.

Anyone have any ideas what is going on?

This is a graph of Peertube instances following each other. There are 942 nodes and 10067 edges.

On Peertube, an instance X can follow an instance Y to let its users see all the videos posted on Y. This graph is a directed graph.

Color and size of nodes depends on how big their Eigenvector centrality is. Nodes which have 0 centrality are blue and small, nodes with bigger centrality are big and red.

What centrality represents? Instances which are not followed by anyone have 0 centrality. Instances (A) with a lot of followers (B) have bigger centrality. If those followers (B) themselves have followers (C), it means centrality of A will be even higher.

Does it mean anything in context of Peertube? I'm not sure. Considering chain of three instances: (A) <- (B) <- (C), when (A) posts a video, does it appear in (C)? Probably not. But if it was so, then centrality would've mean this: Videos posted on instances with high centrality spread across entire network, while videos posted on instances with 0 centrality are not visible anywhere else.

Here are top 10 instances and their centrality:

• http://tilvids.com/ 1.0
• http://share.tube/ 0.97
• http://conf.tube/ 0.90
• http://video.lqdn.fr/ 0.88
• http://skeptikon.fr/ 0.86
• http://spectra.video/ 0.74
• http://video.monsieurbidouille.fr/ 0.73
• http://aperi.tube/ 0.71
• http://tube.aquilenet.fr/ 0.71
• http://video.hardlimit.com/ 0.68

How to repeat this graph visualization

1. Download latest Peertube instances.csv and interactions.csv files here: https://www.kaggle.com/datasets/marcdamie/fediverse-graph-dataset-reduced
2. Import them to Gephi;
3. Apply Giant Component filter to remove nodes which are not connected to biggest network;
4. Apply ForceAtlas 2 layout;
5. Run Eigenvector centrality Statistics (directed). It will add a new column to nodes table;
6. Apply Nodes - Color - Ranking - Eigenvector centrality;
7. Apply Nodes - Size - Ranking - Eigenvector centrality;
8. Configure Preview and export.

P.S. On colorful image used as thumbnail of this post nodes are colored by Modularity (community detection).

Even if the thumbnail is broken the video should work

Saw this post this morning and figured people might be interested in me sharing/updating my own post about this issue. The Fediverse will never become mainstream if we make basic tasks unnecessarily complicated.

disclaimer!: i’m not involved with the peertube project in any way! i’m just a person who would really like to see the fediverse succeed. peertube, unfortunately, does still have a lot of issues, some of which i address in this post or are addressed in the comment section. if i knew how to fix these issues i would, but for now, i think the best i can do is share tips i’ve learned to make it usable in its current form. who knows, maybe if the project gets more attention, the issues will be resolved faster, which will help the platform grow!

With that out of the way…

PeerTube is the fediverse equivalent of YouTube with no ads (other than sponsorships creators might add to their own videos). Services on the fediverse are decentralized into instances/servers that talk to each other (think how GMail and Outlook can e-mail each other despite being different providers). Each instance makes their own rules and decides what instances they will communicate with. The more instances an instance communicates with, the more videos you will have access to. You can even host your own for full control, and you have the option to transfer your account to another instance if you don’t like your current one.

Here are three instances to help you get started with PeerTube right away (remember, you can always switch later!):

• Currently, this instance appears to have the most content available, although they are not allowing sign ups (but you do not have to be logged in to view the videos): https://tube.shanti.cafe/videos/browse

• The instance with the most videos that currently allows sign ups (so you can create a playlist, comment on videos, etc.) seems to be this one, although I have personally found it slow at times: https://dalek.zone/

• The instance with the second most amount of videos that allows sign ups is this one: https://video.4d2.org/ I haven’t had trouble accessing this one so far.

You can learn more about PeerTube here: https://joinpeertube.org/

You can browse the official instance list here: https://instances.joinpeertube.org/instances

(While I don’t expect this post to blow up, my sincerest apologies to the servers I’ve listed if it does lol)

Using PeerTube on iOS

Unfortunately, I personally have not found the official PeerTube app to be usable yet. I was also unfortunately having some trouble with the PWAs (Progressive Web Apps - you access your PeerTube instance from Safari and use the “Add To Home Screen” option, which creates a “Progressive Web App”).

The best solution I have found so far, by accident, is the YouPlay app. Its main use is for avoiding YouTube ads. However, PeerTube instances seem to function pretty decently, compared to other options I have tried so far. Iirc, YouPlay is a free trial with a very affordable lifetime option. You can add a shortcut for your PeerTube instance and then use the app. Iirc, this gave me a semi-functional Picture-In-Picture and background play option, which I believe was not working in the PWAs, and has not yet been implemented in the official app. It is janky, but it seems to be the most featured and functional option on iOS at the moment.
