edit: Peertube seems to be having a limit to how much you can upload, say 5-50gbs, how do big creators with lots of videos do their work here?

edit: Peertube is freaking chaotic, it’s like I need to read a book before I start using it. I want something which is intuitive and FOSS and Odysee though a lil complex is/was that.

edit: interestingly, no one has suggested anything but Peertube, I had though it too works on lbry protocol, but it doesn’t. I don’t need one, but does anyone have a platform which depends on lbry protocol?

I like FOSS and thus a few months ago I resolved to never post videos on youtube (no matter how low quality)

I though odysee was a good alternative, apparently not. It takes ages to upload videos and it isn’t freaking working rn.

I just uploaded this video (for an hour) https://odysee.com/mx_linux_waydroid:1 and it won’t even play!

I tried to register an account on TILvids, a platform which works on LBRY and I just wasn’t able to publish videos because I had to ask some admin for a quota or some thing.

TILvids thing has been going on for a month now (as in I requested the admin 1 month ago and they haven’t responded yet)

So, what is that one FOSS alternative to youtube which won’t suck life out of you.

Also, is it possible to just move your content from odysee to some other platform. Because it has been frustrating to use Odysee but I have tolerated it because it isn’t yt, but now even I am giving up on it.

I want to just upload Linux videos and not require someone’s approval like TILvids, what platform inside peertube should I use

    PeerTube in general is the best alternative so far. TILvids is an example of a PeerTube instance, but PeerTube is federated just like Lemmy here, so you can find a different instance if you don’t like TILvids, or even host your own if you want! I don’t know the best instance for you off the top of my head though, I just use TILvids as well, which works fine for me as just a viewer.
