He'll yeah my siblings!!

So you might have heard of Grayjay already, but it's a multi-source video app that creates a hybrid feed from all sorts of places. Think like YouTube+SoundCloud+BilliBilli+Twitch+Patreon.

It's still in early-ish development but it's quite stable and it's not too buggy. The intent of the app is to allow you to follow creators without being stuck in a walled garden, or at least not one solitary walled garden anyway. Good if want to have a feed that includes sources from YouTube but also, say, Odysee so you can keep up with Red. given that Blinken just got them banned from YouTube.

But the coolest thing is that it also supports PeerTube instances so you can now watch videos and follow channels on that PeerTube instance.

Unfortunately their native plugin generators is buggy and won't work right but there's a workaround:

Once you've got Grayjay installed on your device, in your browser head to:
https://grayjay-peertube.github.io/

Click "Generate QR Code"

In the popup window, enter tankie.tube and click Generate QR Code

Click Open in Grayjay

It will open Grayjay and then all you have to do is to click install and you're done!

Remember to go in the Grayjay app and click More on the bottom bar, then Sources, ensure that the TankieTube plugin is enabled in the list of sources and open it to toggle the Visibility settings so that you will see TankieTube content where you want - on the homescreen and in the search, depending on your personal preference.
