I do like watching videos on theses platforms but if your someone who wants to create gaming or random videos then youtube feels overcrowded. is there a less overcrowded, option to look into, and im still debating if i should watch videos or make videos as a hobby. you all got any tips or suggestions aswell by chance?

Peertube is a video and streming platform (like youtube) and owncast a streaming platform (like twitch) that are FOSS, self-hostable and connected to the Fediverse. Although I don't think getting any amount of viewers on those platforms will be any easier.

that is good to know.

There is peertube, and for twitch I mean owncast exists... Odysee is also highly recommended.

so would you suggest i try odysee what kind of stuff is even on there?

[–] promitheas@iusearchlinux.fyi 1 points 2 years ago

I would definitely suggest it. Just keep in mind not all the content you can find on YT is on Odysee yet. But I've found content ranging from tech/programming/linux all the way to gardening guides and discussions

Honestly, if you're someone making gaming videos, it's hard to find an audience in other platforms.

There's PeerTube, and there's also LBRY.
