What are the best fediverse alternatives to youtube? and what makes them so good, what are the rules? are they all open source?
ive been wanting to start gaming videos but youtube is youtube you know.

PeerTube looks very promising.
may i ask what the diffrent between the 2 are and which one would be better for gaming?
Peertube is based on the Activitypub protocol and can federate with other instances just like Lemmy/Mastodon. Odysee is a decentralized blockchain-based video-sharing platform.
If you’d like to monetize your content, Odysee would be the better option due to its own cryptocurrency for tipping. I personally like Peertube more, as I think it is better moderated against right-wing content.
I just checked Odysee and saw SunnyV2 was on there, holy smokes the comments on there…
Um, if you’re in high school please don’t make nsfw videos.
the fbi hates this one simple trick

Have a look at that, it should bring some answers
so should i ask the question over there?.. or what exactly
You are free to ask them wherever you want. What I was saying is that you should already be able to find some answers from that thread
I’m really curious to see if any of these options can pan out long-term. It’s extremely expensive to host video, and it seems like it could be a real challenge for federated video hosting to take off at scale. I’m hopeful!
Peertube has been around for a while, but indeed many instances aren’t open for registration and many disappeared at a point.
In theory the bittorent behind it is well scalable, not sure how it works practically
Are hosting costs subject to Moore’s law?
Peertube for sure. Seems to work great whenever I try it, but I’m not a political extremist or European so most of the instances I’ve come across aren’t interesting to me. I would recommend starting your own instance, but also YouTube is YouTube because they actually pay creators if that’s something you’re looking for.

I use Odysee, it has plenty of content. I’d like to hear what other people use as well.
That’s not federated though, just an alternative that uses LBRY
I like odysee as well since its the only alternative that has lots of content. However the video performance sucks(I don’t blame them). I like that I can contribute to the network.
I wish odysee content was available on peertube. Because peertube performance is good and I’d have no problem Donating to my instance host.
ive heard of that but i was not sure of it.
I would say PeerTube looks like the best alternative to YouTube. I haven’t explored it personally but it is on my to-do list along with standing up a Friendica instance. I’ve been off of Facebook since 2017. I’ve been off of Twitter since November of 2022.
IDK where content creators should go, but as a viewer Piped looks promising. (I only discovered it because of @PipedLinkBot@feddit.rocks.)
Pipes is a great way to view YT content without logging in. No ads, clean interface, and you can log in to save playlists via cookies on your local machine, so no interaction with the server. It doesn’t use the YouTube API, so Google can’t say much.
