  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).

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?

PeerTube isn't a single website like YouTube - it's a decentralized platform with many different "instances" (seperate websites) that all talk to each other, so you just pick one instance like peertube.wtf or peer.tube to start watching and creating content.

Oh my god, I figured out what I’ve been doing wrong, somehow I’ve always browsed in local without realizing so I thought peertube didn’t have cross-instance functionality. So I was confused on how to actually browse all of peertube
