Getting started with PeerTube
What's Next
Despite still being quite unknown, PeerTube is already a very mature, production-ready video platform with minimal bugs. It just needs its own "Elon Musk moment" to go mainstream.
That said, as this is the Fediverse, PeerTube integrates cleverly and seamlessly with other services. You can follow a PeerTube channel, for example, directly from Mastodon. Everything published to that channel will show up on Mastodon as a regular post with an attached video, and replies to the post on Mastodon will show up as comments on PeerTube. Perhaps with the rise in popularity of Mastodon, PeerTube will also become a popular service.
