This includes, among other things, PeerTube.

PeerTube is a federated alternative to YouTube.

I love PeerTube. Been running an instance of it of my own for a few weeks.

I currently have only two videos on it so far.

The subject of the videos on my instance are computing and music.

My instance does not allow others to sign up, but I would like to invite other creators to host videos about computing and music on my instance. I tried to reach out to one person that was currently using YouTube and who was making videos about computing to ask them if they wanted to host their videos on my PeerTube instance instead. Didn’t hear back from that person yet.

I would like for about ten to one hundred people who have a history of creating videos about computing or music to join my instance. The goal being that we would be enough people on the instance so that every week there is 1 to 2 new videos posted, while still being few enough people so that we are not flooded with many videos, and while also maintaining a strict focus on videos whose topics are restricted to one or more of the following three:

- computing (by this I mean programming, software engineering, computer science and such)

- music (includes music videos for music created by the person, as well as videos about music theory and videos about music production)

- electronics (meaning things like microcontrollers, soldering, PCB design, etc)

Essentially, to create a small and focused community.

Still not sure how to actually get other people to join though. For now my strategy will be to continue making videos of my own, and occasionally reaching out to others to ask them personally if they want to join the instance when I see someone that makes content of a similar nature as the kind that I host on my instance.
