It's like F-Droid, but for Pagans.
It's 2025, they're called Celts.
They use Sah-main branches

And Boomkin? π₯Ί
Now I want F-Druid to be a thing
Would be a fun name for a repo of ttrpg stuff, one pagers, etc
Will only accept apps about moon phases and burning human sacrifices in giant wicker effigies.
YES
F-Droid?
Droid bad, druid good
There's a typo in the title
Those rumours about moonlit orgies can't all be wrong. They are the f-druids after all...
You cant login to accounts yet :( So for now the app is pretty useless to me
Ah, I came here to ask that question... If this is finally the version with log-in.... It isn't.
We have to be patient then. They've promised to add it. And Framasoft usually follows up on their promises. But looking at the commit log on the project page, they dont seem to be actively working on the Android app. It's mostly noise, translations and dependency updates there. Nothing that'd indicate someone is working on adding features. So it could take some time.
But you're not the only person waiting for this to be added.
A local account just for subscriptions would be dope.
Yes itβs very much a beta test.
Cool that they are working on an app, though.
Although I personally find the UI to be confusingz
I wish PeerTube was a reasonable alternative to YouTube but I have a hard time imagining it will ever be.
Yeah, I don't think so either. For lots of creators, YouTube is about earning money with ad revenue with their videos. And the audience comes to watch their videos. So unless we introduce lots of ads to PeerTube and pay the creators, it won't become an alternative to Youtube (in specific).
I think Peertube will stay it's own thing and not become a clone of Youtube. And as such it'll always target a different audience and have different content available. So it can't really become an "alternative".
I'd say it depends on your uses.
If you're an organization looking for a platform in which to publish your videos so that they can be spread in your newsletter/social media and embedded on your website, it's probably a very good alternative.
If you're a content creator who runs on donations and has a dedicated following already, it might be good. And as the fediverse grows, it will only get better.
For a lot of the content creators who live off engagement and clicks, it's much less likely to become a viable alternative. The kind of content people will watch for hours, but that nobody would ever consider paying for.
I think it's not about one platform replacing all of YouTube, but about providing viable alternatives for specific uses.
Ideally the solution would be finding alternatives for creators to make money, sponsorships is one, they can make money on those no matter the platform and where they get viewers, same with support platforms like patreon and kofi.
The goal would be to watch videos there so creators have a reason to cross post and then support them in other ways, if possible, mentioning peertube as the avenue you watched them.
Cross posting to a peertube instance should be pretty light weight for creators and we should encourage it.
The modern day Freudian slip is keyboard autocorrect determined from previous messages typed in other apps
NewPipe has been there for a long while, with the ability to watch Peertube videos.
However, with its strict no account policy, you aren't able to leave comments, for example. So, nice to have!
Neat! Thank you for sharing!
I wish tubular would get on there.
It's there in the Izzy repository
Great :)
For those who don't know what to do, choose add repository and give it https://apt.izzysoft.de/fdroid/repo?fingerprint=3BF0D6ABFEAE2F401707B6D966BE743BF0EEE49C2561B9BA39073711F628937A
Tubular is an ad free YouTube app with Sponsorblock included.
I can see a client called P2Play that's been updated 7 months ago. What about that one?
That one isnt official and its worse
