As the title says, I want to know about Peertube instances. But the main website requires JS to work, and I would rather not rely on it. How do you guys find out about new instances?

As for accessing the videos, I am currently using NewPipe on Android with Orbot, which from what I understand doesn't run any JS while still using TLS connections. Please correct me if I am wrong.

Thanks!

OK, so I found this website http://sp3r4z.fr/peertube/general

It seems to have a basic list based on most popular instances. Still, not the complete picture that I was looking for. Any help is welcome, and I wanted to share this here to help others. Thanks.

Have you tried to install the client on your machine, as opposed to viewing from browser?

I don't use PeerTube because I found it difficult to find things on there like you, but there seems to be a 'discover' page on the program itself.

I'm not sure if it requires JS or not, but I find this really useful for searching PeerTube:
https://peertube-index.net/

I'd like to see #Searx and other free code search engine projects incorporate something similar, so that videos from the PeerTube network are included in their video search.

Thanks, that is a nice website! And also provides a way to get to know more instances easily.

However I do get the feeling that content is somewhat limited in Peertube. Maybe I was spoiled with Youtube :P

Searx idea was excellent in my view.

Of course! YT content was pretty limited when it was 5 years old too ;) The only solution to this is for everyone who cares about software freedom and decentralized online services to spend some time encouraging web video makers to publish on PT as well as (or instead of) YT.

EDIT: it would also help to improve the PT tools for tagging and searching through the available videos. If anyone has ideas for this, NlNet has funding available for free code related to search and discovery:
