Here are a couple tips to improve the usability of peertube.
Use sepiasearch when finding new peertube instances and videos. Some browsers such as firefox allows you to create a shortcut for searching
Subscribe to channels through your most used fediverse account. Then it will pop up in your feed and it’s easier to comment on videos.
We can subscribe to peertubers using lemmy or mastodon accounts? How?

this method works for me, but libre_warrior’s alternative method doesn’t work for me. It errors
You can do this in two ways, through peertube, or through your mastodon account.
On peertube go to a video, press subscriube. Under subscribe with remote account, write in your mastodon address. Press subscribe remotely.
On mastodon search for channelname@peertubeinstance.xyz and press their profile. There you can follow as if they were any other mastodon user.
Hmm maybe the subscribe it’s down right now, but “On peertube go to a video, press subscriube. Under subscribe with remote account, write in your mastodon address. Press subscribe remotely.”
Isn’t working. At least on the 2 peertubers I tried to do it on. I put in, @fribbledom@mastodon.social , but that didn’t work. The other method works though.
On peertube you have to insert your mastodon account, not the peertube channel. Also, it seems like you have to omit the first @. So I would write libre_warrior@mastodon.social.
Weird, i omitted the first @, but I still get:
“Error Cannot fetch information of this remote account”
Hm, have you tried from another peertube instance?
If that doesn’t work, have you tried subscribing from mastodon instead? I wrote instructions in an earlier reply.
