   I love #PeerTube as a project, and have been running an instance basically forever, but my experience on finding stuff to watch is almost as difficult as it is to find people who want to be part of my instance.
   
   Make no mistake: I can basically afford to run my instance for years to come, and plan to keep it on for some time. But, I feel as though my attempt to make a little community for video creators just isn't really progressing in any way. It feels really frustrating.
   
   Making videos is fun, but it also feels like a lot of effort for very little payoff in my case. Every now and then, I make a new effort, but it just feels like I'm politely speaking into the void.
   
   Maybe I'm just bad at this.

     @tio Kinda reminds me of the Twitter and Facebook bridges that Friendica used to have. Not a bad concept by any means, could actually make for a pretty cool plugin.

     @sean Yah almost no one will use peertube. Same story with the fediverse itself. Very very few compared to the big online giants. I think one cool idea would be to have an invidious plugin for peertube so it can showcase and display youtube videos in your peertube. This way will at least incentivize people to use peertube and maybe getting familiar with it may make some use it for their own personal videos. So in a way to merge youtube with peertube via invidious or something similar.

     @sean i'm sure it helps to have creators who post somewhat consistently. i have a ton of content ideas that i haven't been able to execute, mainly for personal-struggle reasons. gonya keep at it this year and see if i can do more than a video or two. want to get into freestyle a bit if i can. might start a punk band with some rapcore features and possibly do some shows at the vegan community center venue.
     
     big dreams, maybe i hit some of these.

     @mmu_man @drwho Someone else brought up SepiaSearch earlier in the thread, so I'll bring up my point again: as an effort, I respect Sepia's attempt to solve a core problem with the platform. However, as a solution to the discovery problem, it's not very good.

     @sean Same. There pretty much is no useful search engine.

     @sean Would you be interested in doing an interview for @hpr@botsin.space with me about the project, in general and your instance in particular ?

     @Nyla_Smokeyface I actually don't have a problem with doing that. Some people want to get their stuff out to the greatest number of audiences, and I have no disrespect for people who take this approach. I even do that sometimes.
     
     It's just that I think something that could give PeerTube a lot of staying power is exclusive creators and videos, and that an active community of people making videos in this space would be a big step towards making the video part of the fediverse healthy and active.

     @sean May I ask why you're not interested in cross posting content to YouTube?
