I know makertube.net is having an issue at the moment where some fairly big maker channels are coming over, and just dumping their entire back catalogue in one go and spamming everything up. It’s very annoying, so if you’re considering a jump to PT please don’t do this. You can import your YT videos as private, and schedule them to publish one by one instead.
The MakerTube admin posted an update just last week saying we had funding through the end of year, but since a load of new people just signed up they’ve now had to spin up extra resources so that might no longer be the case. How many of these new channels will actually donate remains to be seen!
Edit: Also if you’re a viewer, remember you don’t need a PeerTube account to subscribe to channels! You can get them in your Lemmy, Mastodon etc feeds and leave comments / upvotes without ever leaving your platform of choice.

any idea why makertube does not appear on fediverse observer?
No idea! I just searched for some of the biggest instances and they’re not on there either 🤷♀️
Thanks for the feedback, i opened a bug here.
