    Came here to say this. I want to love it, I really do, but I just can’t handle the slow

      The video above is slow? Is this a common thing? I cant get it to replicate no matter how hard I try.

        EVERY video is slow. Dunno what to tell you. Maybe it’s because I’m on the arse end of the world, but it’s always a crapshoot whether or not a peertube video will actually load for me or not. Even this one buffered for ~30 seconds before it started playing, which is just too long for it to be a viable yt replacement just yet. I’m getting > 100 mbps down on this machine, so it’s not my connection

        ETA: I will say, after writing this, I tried a few others, and it does seem to be better than the last time I tried it, so maybe this was hasty. They do still buffer much more than yt, but they seem to play consistently now at least

          They did a TON of work on the UI lately. And the federation works a lot better last couple of years. Mostly due to community servers popping up. Glad you are getting it a bit better now than before.

          For me it loaded up almost immediately…but I also have 1000+ MBPS connection so…take that with a grain of salt.
