What keeps you away from PeerTube? What features does PeerTube lack? If you were the developer of PeerTube, how would you improve it?

So many things:

  • A closed caption system like youtube. I’m deaf so 90% of peertube videos are just unwatchable to me.
  • A working mobile app.
  • An easy guide to instances that is clear on which instances are mainly local vids and which basically federate with everything. Ideally, a couple, lemmy.world, lemm.ee style peertube instances that are general purpose and kind of have everything I can direct people who want to join too.
  • A non-personalised algorithm. Ie. recommend similar high rated videos.

You are probably already aware but YouTube's closed captions are very inaccurate. I'm sure it's better than nothing though.

Yes it very much depends the video. But on slow paced standard english they tend to be okay, which is most the content I end up watching anyways.
