Fediverse seems like its stabilizing: https://fediverse.observer/dailystats&days=1000

(and these are the servers that allow the crawler from the observer, so its highly likely the numbers are much larger).

We are seeing:

Overall pretty good! Keeping the momentum going. Thanks everyone, whichever platform/instance you hail from!

    Having spent about 2 years on Lemmy, I made the commitment to ditch YouTube in favor of PeerTube.

    At first, it may look like there’s mostly garbage and then some privacy enthusiasts, but that’s only because recommendations and search are not very powerful compared to other platforms.

    PeerTube is home to troves upon troves of high-quality original content on various topics, you just have to look for it. And for your YouTube-exclusive needs, there are instances that mirror popular channels.

    Give it a spin!

      Can you give me a small list of channels producing such high quality content on Peertube?

        What the other commenter said, look for these instances, especially TILvids

        Other than these, some specific recommendations:

        • Gardiner Bryant (gbryant@subscribeto.me) - tech YouTuber dipping toes into PeerTube

        • Oh The Urbanity! (ohtheurbanity@video.canadiancivil.com) - urbanism and sustainable development

        • ASMR of the Fediverse (asmrfediverse@peertube.wtf) - self-explanatory, ASMR videos specifically produced and released on the Fediverse. Exclusive high-quality content!

        • Making Waves/Roots and Calluses (makingwaves@video.katehildenbrand.com & katehildenbrand@video.katehildenbrand.com) - personal/professional blogs of a marine biologist Kate Hildenbrand, both very worth a watch

        • Veronica Explains (veronicaexplains@tinkerbetter.tube) - a very cute and non-typical Linux channel from a veteran tech enthusiast

        • Films (films@fedi.video) - old but gold public domain films

        • Historical Shorts (historical@fedi.video) - some more tapes from the past
