PeerTube has its own frontend (User Interface). Do you mean a “provider”/instance like PeerTube.wtf?

I have created a Mastodon list just for PeerTube “subscriptions”. I just swap over and then have a list only full of videos. On mobile the Surf app could do something similar.
That's actually genius. I love ActivityPub.
I use grayjay (android and I think desktop now too?), which works for most streaming services, such as PeerTube, YouTube, Nebula, etc. One app for all the things.
The website works fine. I don't understand the app obcession people have. Though newpipe is an option if you must
Hang on, what website? That’s what I’m looking for, not an application or whatever.
Whichever peertube instance you are viewing the video from. Makertube, urbanists.video are two that I use
There's the mobile app for Android, and on my Desktop I just use the website.
Im only aware of the main one, is there alternatives? Do you mean like themes?
So, it seems like I’m not aware of what the main one is. Whats the link for it?
Do you just want something like https://peer.tube/
Yoy can find the whole list of public instances here:
I would add that several browser addons that send you to a peertube version of a youtube video exist as well. Can make life somewhat awkward though as quite often the peertube version is actually of a lower quallity. If you are a creator if you use an instance that allows youtube import you can also automagically import videos from YT to your PT channel as well
