So I’ve been trying to get into peertube and away from google, but I’m having trouble finding a frontend to actually use peertube, or perhaps I’m missing something with how to use peertube. Does anyone have any recommendations for this?

I use grayjay (android and I think desktop now too?), which works for most streaming services, such as PeerTube, YouTube, Nebula, etc. One app for all the things.

I got it installed and it's pretty neat, but YouTube doesn't work on it, just PeerTube.

Really? It works well for me on my phone with everything I've tried on it (YT, PeerTube, Rumble, Nebula, Twitch, and Odyssee).

It seems to have worked now, probably because I opened it for the first time. It's really nice, great way to degoogle this necessity.

Is it normal that it's a little slow?

Yeah, there are certainly delays opening videos, refreshing subscriptions can take time, and searching is slow and often unhelpful. You can disable some services if you want to speed things up a bit.
