I hope this directory will help you find the PeerTube platform that fits your needs. I must say, I am a little worried how few platforms actually meet the criteria I’ve set. It’s possible I’ve missed some, so please let me know in the comments. Enjoy.

You should always go to a platforms /about page and read up on the rules and the features enabled on the platform. In some cases, registration requires approval by moderators. If you are interested in streaming, also make sure to check if this feature is enabled on the platform you wish to register on.

If you want a complete list, you can take a look at Framasoft’s own list.

    Naive question probably - which of these platforms would get a new creator the biggest audience?

      That would probably be the platform with the highest number of followers and/or with highest number of users. You can see that at the bottom of the /about page.
