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

I personally used dalek.zone, no video approval necessary. Though I probably needed to get my account approved, not sure.

hey just curious, if I upload a video in there, will it remain forever? As in, I can't delete it because it's part of lbry network now? I have heard something like that about odysee.com

You can delete videos on Peertube. They're stored on the server the same way YouTube etc. do it. The difference is just that the Peertube servers federate with each other like Lemmy does.
