I want to make some videos, but I do not want to add them to TY, I am looking for an alternative, unfortunately I know Vimeo, but this is not what I am looking for.

I believe you are looking for PeerTube. Or Loops if you make more short form videos.
That #Loops looks more decent. The PeerTube took me to a landing page, it was very difficult to find videos there. Thanks! :)
You have to look at https://sepiasearch.org/
joinpeertube.org itself does not host videos.
Look here: https://joinpeertube.org/instances
People need to stop recommending server directories to the newbies. People genuinely don’t grok how ActivityPub works out of the gate, and they trip all over that shit. There’s only a handful of open registration PeerTube sites, anyway. We should just point them to, like, clip.place.
People need to stop saying “People need to stop”
edit: and I honestly don’t see how instance choosing is such a hard concept to wrap your head around for someone who’s already ventured to find a (federated) alternative. I will certainly continue doing it because pointing people to just one or two actual servers has some very obvious downsides.

The thing is that instances do not matter that much in the fediverse. But those instance directories are trying to steer users to instances that might fit their profile. Take a look at how Lemmy is doing it:
So I seem to have to chose here: If I’m a FOSS interested LGBT from Canaca, do I go to lemmy.ml, lemmy.ca or blahaj.zone? If I’m german and interested in computers, is it feddit.org or lemmy.zip or dbzer0.com? Or is a general purpose instance better? You are really losing users here.
(I’m not going into the issue that some of those instances should really not be recommended to new users at all)
Mastodon has a different problem: Too many small niche instances, which might sound interesting to new users, but which have low activity and will switch off in a few months.
Yes, I linked to both project’s main sites/pages. For PeerTube, you need to choose an instance like https://peertube.tv/
I like loops, but it looks to be heavily ai assisted lately. Doesn’t bother me, because it actually made decent progress and looks way less dated now. I just find it funny how as long as a dev obscures or doesn’t mention it, no one seems to notice. Catadon looks pretty interesting too, hella bloated and the ui has some odd choices but it has some potential. It’s at least getting some ideos out there and showing they can work.
It’s decentralized. You need servers.
Peertube has very little on it. Linux. One makeup girl. Loyal Moses.
Peertube has many thousands of videos. They’re just not all accessible from any particular instance. This is why I use Grayjay. You can search PT and YT videos at the same time.
And Kumiai-Ki 👌
Ahh! But that one is for shorts!
Check out https://clip.place/. It’s a PeerTube-based site with open registration.
I gave up on peertube (especially the app) when I couldn’t find a server with open registration. And it is one of the messier services to host that I’ve tried. I dont even want to post videos. I just wanted to find cool videos and follow them.
Instead of recommending “peertube” itself we should point to servers that have open registration or even better, peerseek.video since the platform is useless without decent discovery tools.
Kinda the problem of the whole fediverse, sadly.
I’m generally an advocate for doing this for the entire Fediverse. “Mastodon”, “PixelFed”, “Lemmy”, “PieFed”, etc., are not places people can go to experience the Fediverse. They’re pieces of server software that let you stand up websites, just like WordPress is. You’d never tell people to check out “WordPress” when you want them to see some restaurant’s menu or to look up your business or whatever. We shouldn’t be doing the equivalent with the Fediverse.
If you just want to follow channels and perhaps comment on videos, your piefed account should work for that. Discoverability (of Pt videos, searched from Piefed) would be lackluster to say the least, but the “basics” should work.
Or even, like, PipePipe. I’m pretty sure you can search PT instances using it.
Yeah, that’s what I do currently and this is why peertube should not be considered and replacement or “answer” to YouTube. It just is not a similar experience at all.
