Grow Your Own Services 🌱Do you run your own PeerTube server? Does it seem a bit empty? You can solve this by showing videos from other servers too, here's a guide:
➡️ https://fedi.tips/how-to-fill-your-peertube-server-with-federated-videos
The guide also includes a list of recommended servers you might want to federate to your server. (You can also just federate specific accounts/channels if you don't want to federate an entire server's content.)
Federating doesn't take up space on your server, the video files remain on the other server.
Colto FoxI managed to fix the HTTP import on #FloofTube (https://flooftube.net) last night! 
It'd been down since 1st January 2026 and I found out the HTTP proxy details had changed.
That said, the proxy still runs at 56 KB/s so it can only download 1 video at a time. That might sound slow (because it is 
) , YouTube's designed to blacklist anyone trying to download videos (without ads) so it has to use a slow proxy to workaround it.
If you're uploading to FloofTube, it's recommended to upload directly. 
If you have a large batch of videos to upload, you could always send me an online storage link with the high res videos (DM me here) and I'll upload them for you (add me as an editor to the channel and remove me once complete). I can upload them on a 10Gbps link to the server, but it'll still be bottle-necked by the encoder trying to create the different resolutions.
Wish there were more offline import options like being able to manually import the yt-dlp metadata with the video...
PeerTube admins, do you want your playlists to show the newest videos at the top? This is possible if you install the "Playlist reverse order" plugin from Settings > Plugins/Themes > Search Plugins
I recommend setting it to just one account when you're trying it. Some of your members may have manually sorted playlists they don't want messed up.
It can also be set to automatically remove deleted or private videos. These are removed when playlists are next updated.
