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 I know I'm freeloading here but could you let me know if you find something like that?

@marcel Will do! It's weirdly hard to find info on anything PeerTube so we have to stick together 😁

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

@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 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?

@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🤷‍♀️

@teahands - Just curious if you found a peertube instance for gamedev. I'm thinking about doing more video documentation of my game development. Just curious if this quest resulted in any good finds.

@heroicthehobbyist Ended up on MakerTube after confirming with the admin that devlogs "count" as making. I've got two channels on there and it's been stable for the year and a half or so I've been on it.

EDIT: Do ping me if you sign up, would love to see more of us on there!
