It's like F-Droid, but for Pagans.

They use Sah-main branches

Cris

Neat! Thank you for sharing!

It's 2025, they're called Celts.

I wish PeerTube was a reasonable alternative to YouTube but I have a hard time imagining it will ever be.

You cant login to accounts yet
So for now the app is pretty useless to me

It's like F-Droid, but for Pagans.

And Boomkin?

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.

hendrik

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 can see a client called P2Play that's been updated 7 months ago. What about that one?

I wish tubular would get on there.

It's there in the Izzy repository

There's always the support via Patreon route.

Now I want F-Druid to be a thing

hendrik

Sure. I just think at that point it's no longer a "alternative to YouTube" since YT works a certain way and this changes quite a lot about the dynamics. It'd be more an alternative to something else, but not YouTube.

[email protected]

That's fair, but the number one complaint about YouTube is the ads, and I do think content creators deserve to be compensated for their time. Perhaps a way within Peertube to donate to the creator?

mortimer

Wrong.

And I know what year it is, thank you.

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.

hendrik

Yeah, PeerTube already has that. Everyone can add their info about sponsoring and it'll show up. I also think this is the correct path towards a good video platform. I don't think Framasoft wants to become a payment provider and hire lots of people to handle money, disputes and legal stuff, so this is the next best thing they can do... Just let the creators upload their patreon, ko-fi, buymeabeer or IBAN number, whatever they like.
