A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.

Rules:

  1. Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.

  2. No spam posting.

  3. Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.

  4. Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.

  5. Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

  6. No trolling.

So I’ve been trying to get into peertube and away from google, but I’m having trouble finding a frontend to actually use peertube, or perhaps I’m missing something with how to use peertube. Does anyone have any recommendations for this?

I use grayjay (android and I think desktop now too?), which works for most streaming services, such as PeerTube, YouTube, Nebula, etc. One app for all the things.

I got it installed and it's pretty neat, but YouTube doesn't work on it, just PeerTube.

Really? It works well for me on my phone with everything I've tried on it (YT, PeerTube, Rumble, Nebula, Twitch, and Odyssee).

It seems to have worked now, probably because I opened it for the first time. It's really nice, great way to degoogle this necessity.

Is it normal that it's a little slow?

Yeah, there are certainly delays opening videos, refreshing subscriptions can take time, and searching is slow and often unhelpful. You can disable some services if you want to speed things up a bit.
