There has been much interest in #PeerTube, the Fediverse's video platform. It's really cool and its accounts can be followed from Mastodon etc. However, PeerTubers sometimes don't get followers and views, and they need followers for their videos to be noticed/searchable by the Fediverse's federation system, so it's catch-22. This cycle would be broken if more people followed PeerTubers, so here's a thread of some active accounts to follow! (And feel free to share!) 1/12
