I enjoy PeerTube for what it is. But we have to talk about how PeerTube is I would say the one open source app that is getting the least amount of new users

So wanted to bring up some points on how we can improve it in some ways:

It is too complex with not enough up to date guides and videos on how to set it up for most people
Need new open source frontend client mobile apps to make it simpler to sign up, sign in, & watch videos/channels on it
The website for sign up is not very user-friendly and like a semi-maze for people who are new

Anything else you would like to add or say about PeerTube in general?

It's a phenomenal project and backend will of course stay the same but it needs a better pipeline of people and creators to it

I tryed to use peertube, but I wanted to follow an account and I wasn't able to do it in my instance, so I moved to another and in that one I wasnt able to upload videos and then 1 month after my account was deleted because I did nothing and problems like this over and over, ignoring how to just search a video or specific chanel that is not of your own instance is really difficult. Is not a comfy experience really.
