I enjoy PeerTube for what it is. But we have to talk about how PeerTube is I would say the one open source app that is getting the least amount of new users

So wanted to bring up some points on how we can improve it in some ways:

It is too complex with not enough up to date guides and videos on how to set it up for most people
Need new open source frontend client mobile apps to make it simpler to sign up, sign in, & watch videos/channels on it
The website for sign up is not very user-friendly and like a semi-maze for people who are new

Anything else you would like to add or say about PeerTube in general?

It's a phenomenal project and backend will of course stay the same but it needs a better pipeline of people and creators to it

Oooo can you make a guide on how to do that? I would love to mirror youtube channels I watch

That too content is definitely a big thing that it needs. Kinda hard to make content for it if people such a tough time setting it up in first place though

This page has a pretty good video tutorial: https://fedihost.co/blog/slug/automatically-syncing-youtube-to-peertube

The official documentation is a bit more short and to the point: https://docs.joinpeertube.org/use/channel-sync
