To be completely transparent, we're not developers of all the solutions listed here. It's mostly just PeerTube, and partly Framadate and Framapad. We handed Mobilizon over to a different organisation nearly two years ago: https://mobilizon.org/about/
Finally, we're providing free Nextcloud hosting for thousands (~2200 as for now. We expect to reach 10 000 during next years) of non-for-profits: https://www.frama.space/abc/fr/
All of these is possible thanks to the donations of thousands of people!
We already use both Github and Framagit (the gitlab instance we host and freely accessible to anyone). We host all of our code on Framagit and only a few projects on Github.
You can already use use a local account on the PeerTube app. With a local account you can't comment videos but you can subscribe to channels or create playlists!
Concerning using a microblogging account, we do not plan to support other Fediverse accounts (such as Mastodon) for now. So yes, that could be a community project instead!
For now, it's mostly only the possibility writing in the "About" page of the server ways to support it, possibly with a banner above videos to encourage people to give money. Creators can also add a "Support" button below videos to tell viewers how to support them.
But I think some people are working on requiring people to login and have a subscription to view videos.
I don't know of an existing plugin that injects pre-roll ads, but it could probably already be developed with the current available APIs.
Oh, sorry to hear this. We'll make sure to follow your observations to the team.
As we can now afford to pay designers, some parts of the interface are being improved, but it's a slow progress. Here are some resources on our work in v7: https://joinpeertube.org/news/share-ressources
Otherwise, accounts such as Fedivideo mentioned in this thread are doing a very good job to curate content you might like, and we want to help that (with our limited resources).
Our developers were writing Free Software on their free time before they got hired, because Framasoft knew them through their free-time productions, but obviously not everybody can do that, and we've very lucky to have an economic model which allows us to pay developers properly.
Because we're a very small team, and we're okay with it staying this way. Not all of us are speaking English correctly. Having a worldwide audience would mean communicating in English all the time, providing assistance in English.
Also, we want to grow at a pace that suits us. We would much prefer if there were other organizations doing exactly the same thing as us in other countries that we could refer people to.
Thanks for sharing our campaign!

Apart from that, what we do is providing a wide range of services using free/libre software: https://degooglisons-internet.org/en/
Awwww! Thank you so much for your kind words! 🥰
Hi!
Please, use our dedicated forum for technical issues, it's hard to do support on social medias and our devs read the forum!

Thaaanks!
Thank you! 🥰
Merci beaucoup ! 🥰
We're already hosting a lot of services for free! You can check https://degooglisons-internet.org/en/ to find out which services we provide.
There are also services we experiment on https://framalab.org/fr/

Thank you for your feedback and your kind words!
Hi! Are you talking about the player or the whole app?
If you're talking about the whole app, we do not plan to support it for now except for future tablets versions.
Hi!
Could you please explain your problem in details on our dedicated forum or Github? This way, our devs would be able to investigate your issue!
Thanks!

About finding your favorite YouTube creators on PeerTube, this is still hard, as they're probably aren't as much as you think they'd be, if you think the scraping tool would be very useful. Using browser extensions such as https://addons.mozilla.org/fr/firefox/addon/peertube-companion/ or https://addons.mozilla.org/fr/firefox/addon/peertubeify/ which redirect you to a PeerTube version of a YouTube video could give you a view of the content currently on both platforms.
Otherwise, accounts such as Fedivideo mentioned in this thread are doing a very good job to curate content you might like, and we want to help that (with our limited resources).
The main thing is our documentation https://docs.joinpeertube.org/. Basic install should be really fine.
Our developers were writing Free Software on their free time before they got hired, because Framasoft knew them through their free-time productions, but obviously not everybody can do that, and we've very lucky to have an economic model which allows us to pay developers properly.
Hope it helps!
Yup, we're been there a while! <3

Yes, you can setup an instance yourself and activate redundancy for the instances you'd like to help : https://docs.joinpeertube.org/admin/following-instances#platforms-redundancy
