And here's what's causing my anxiety about joining a #PeerTube instance for my music stuff. I sift through and find an instance that fits my needs, head to the "About" page and see this:
HOW LONG WE PLAN TO MAINTAIN THIS INSTANCE
"Currently plan to run this instance for the next year or so at least, depending on usage and financials."
I would assist with those financials, but it still doesn't fill me with any confidence that it's going to stick around...
@killyourfm What we really need to happen for #peertube is affordable hosted options, so they can be easier to set up and maintained by a community, much like #mastodon instances are becoming right now.
Or, if you prefer, treat a peertube instance like a personal space/website where users host their own content and simply federate with trusted instances to create hubs.
My 2 cents
Agreed :)
@killyourfm @zleap This is on the right track, but still involves a few clicks;)
https://marketplace.digitalocean.com/apps/cloudron
and cloudron.io then gives you the ability to one-click install #peertube

I can't vouch for the process, but it seems possible
If you ever do it, I would recommend NOT federating, which only means that you don't get a stream of undesirable content on your instance, but people can subscribe to you, and you can follow other creators:)
@killyourfm @zleap best of luck, I'd love to hear how/if it works...I'm sure the rest of the #fediverse would as well:)
@killyourfm @zleap WHAT!!!! That was amazingly fast, ha ha!
