I’ve actually opened a feature request with the Peertube folks. I don’t expect much honestly at the moment. The Peertube folks lay out their plans and they’ve probably don’t that for the foreseeable future, but having this kind of mechanism, and building it out as you’re suggesting, is what I hope that can be built into Peertube some day.

I can’t do what you’re suggesting at the index level. But it’s totally valid. We need good tools built into Peertube, or an extension or something, to give us that kind of control.
Honestly I want to eventually come out with lists for like Child Friendly or Music or NSFW or whatever.
But right now what you’re suggesting, it’s completely built based on my guidelines and what I want. Places like MakerTube have reached out to me and given me specific servers that aren’t within our guidelines and I’ve removed them manually from our list, but I hope there comes a day where EVERYONE can share their lists and groups.
And I honestly think that there’s a doc going through the Open Social Web group to allow sharing of groups easier, that this might help Peertube as well.
So the ideas are sound, I don’t have the technical chops to do it, and I think it’d take a lot of work, but I absolutely think this is a valid use case and would benefit us all.
The best I can say, make sure to support Peertube however you can, even a $1 a month helps, so maybe we can help them get more folks to move Peertube along even faster.
