Looking for a PeerTube instance for game devlogs.

I have a crafts channel on makertube.net already but would prefer to spread myself around in case one server goes down. Also tbh I'm not even sure devlogs would count as "making" anyway.

Tried the instance finder on the PT homepage but it's pretty useless so if anyone knows where is stable and welcomes this kind of content I'd appreciate it! Thanks.

@teahands @peertube Hi! Could you detail what makes the instance finder useless from your perspective, please?

@booteille @peertube Hello! I've only tried to use it a couple of times but the tool at https://joinpeertube.org/instances seems to give a very limited number of results. I've been assuming it's broken since clearly there are a lot more instances out there than listed, but I might just be misunderstanding how it's supposed to work.

@teahands @peertube Okay! Thanks for your answer. Could you share me which search did you try, please?

[–] teahands@mastodon.gamedev.place 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

@booteille @peertube Even the widest of possible searches still only turns up 25 results maximum (with no way to sort them that I can find).

Screenshot as example.

Maybe I'm doing it wrong?

For anyone reading this thread in the future:

  • A couple of devloggers are already on diode.zone although at time of writing that instance wasn't taking new signups
  • I did get a couple of DMs about invite-only instances too, which seemed legit and stable enough but they just weren't for me
  • In the absence of other compelling instances, I checked with the admin of MakerTube and they confirmed gamedev counts as "making". So I just stuck with there in the end and we'll see how it goes🤷‍♀️

@jeena Think videos about the process of developing video games, basically. Following a project from beginning to (hopefully) release.

@teahands Personally, devlogs are making; I wouldn't see them as out of place on makertube. But a devlog-based instance would be neato to watch!

@cariad Yeah tbh my fibre crafts are a bit out of place there already (despite definitely counting as making, in my mind!) so I reckon they'd accept me. But it feels precarious putting both on the same server, so just wanted to see what else is out there.
