A free software to take back control of your videos

Peertube is an open, federated alternative to Youtube without advertising or tracking. On this site, you can find a good Peertube instance, with good rules, good moderation and most importantly a friendly community.

Hi folks!

Preamble

I have recently made my own instance and enabled federation. It's working well. But if I go to videos, all the other instances' videos are shown first. I'd like to boost the local content before the federated stuff so people can actually see it.

Remediation steps

I searched for a plugin that does featured stuff but only found a three year old one of which I don't know if it is safe to use in terms of stability and such.

What I would like

Sorting by downloads, "likes", update as well as adding comments. Filtering by "official" or other others. Plugin Search actually showing "official" if I search for it instead of a blank page.

What I need to know

Is there something like this already or should I try opening an issue with the creators at framasoft?

Have a good one!

I did it in a different way, I made the landing page the home page: https://tube.jeena.net/home

Then I used the Client markup for PeerTube https://docs.joinpeertube.org/api/custom-client-markup to define what should show up on that home page. I basically have a list of latest uploads and then some specific chanels which I would like to promote when people arrive and want to see what's going on on that instance.

I think https://tilvids.com did something similar.

Thank you very much for mentioning this. I‘ll give it a look.
