They are doing awesome work!

This was posted in December.

It is getting better although I wish they would focus on international users. I don't speak French and I think most people are in the same boat as me. They should prioritize English more so that people aren't having to translate. Maybe they could look into some sort of auto translation
The other major issue is that lack of good federation. There are tons of random instances that have lots of junk. I want a way to have quality content from all instances rise to the top of every instance. Lemmy has nailed this and it would be cool of Peertube did the same.
Peertube also has a content problem. All of the content is niche to anti big tech and Linux.
- What do you mean they should focus on international users?
  Check out this post for PeerTube platforms (instances) that federate with many others. Then have a look at this page for the trending videos sorted by "hot": https://peertube.wtf/videos/browse?sort=-hot&c=true&s=3
  For content, check out this post: https://lemmy.wtf/post/15810205 and this page: https://peertube.wtf/home
  New content can be difficult to discover on PeerTube, but I find new interesting channels almost every day.
- I agree. They have a language filter but if the video has English subtitles they seem to think that's good enough...
  Mastodon is the same way. I think the default language is English and just no one bothers to change it when they post...
