New Sailfish YouTube channels?

Curious if anyone is planning to create some new Sailfish OS video content?

When I search for “Sailfish OS” in YouTube, it seems that Continuum Gaming is the only ”Sailfish OS” creator. I like what he does but I also think there is room for more.

Also interested in content on non-youtube platforms.

Anyone got any plans? I certainly don’t! I crumble when you stick a microphone in front of me.

I have a plan to make one on mine, but need to find the time between work to actually get it done, anything you’ll be interested in hearing about?

Plan was to just tour the OS, and give my experience with it as a main device for the past 3 - 4 years, and give some reasons to try or switch. Mostly targeted to newcomers

Jolla tries to be an alternative to BigTech, and I think the first wave of new users are on Fediverse. So why not on PeerTube?

I would love to see a native PeerTube app as well!

I would also suggest Peertube. …and the other parts of the Fediverse too.

Why not both? IMHO, it’s fine to reach out to people on YouTube but I’d be happy to join Peertube or others if given a reason to do so. Currently, I don’t have any exposure to other video platforms (apart from Odyssee).

My personal opinion: Why support YouTube at all? This is a political decision and a step in building a difference. And by that, why continue as today?

Because if you want to promote sailfish and hopefully help Jolla get new customers, this is the best place to do so (not exclusively of course).
Otherwise we can be sharing videos amongst ourselves here and that’s about it.

I have not seen anything worth mentioning at YouTube, other then videos from Laura Malvoyante and Jolla themselves.

But then again, I guess I will never ever make a video and even less a video channel on any platform…

I just wish the ones promoting SFOS good luck and that they reach the right audience…

I spend less than 5 minutes a month on YouTube. We have banned it for our kids, and I think it is loosing its importance. It might be banded in Norway for kids under 16 years as a social media.

My biggest hope is that app development picks up and that we can tell “We have an app for that”. A native one! That will bring us new users… Teaching them better ways to use the phone should be on other platforms then YouTube.

Personally I have nothing against watching youtube content but I’d never actively participate.
Thankfully there’s plenty of alternatives.

I just created https://piefed.zip/c/sailfishos

Consider this owned by our community.

This is of course accessible through Lemmy and other fediverse social media applications.

If you haven’t joined the fediverse yet, make this your entry point. User numbers are growing and it’s not as techy as its reputation. Just social media. With communities of all kinds.

You don’t have to use piefed.zip to register - find your instance, register, and join this community regardless. Even from Mastodon if I’m not mistaken.

On the other hand, I pay for YouTube premium … for the family! Hope we can still be friends, LOL!!

Not that I’m aware of. With about 3 billion active users I’d say they are doing fine :smiley:

This would be great!

Because Peertube isn’t a platform like YouTube. It sucks IMO. I would use another platform than YouTube in a heartbeat. But such a platform doesn’t excist. The whole fediverse is created for small niche things. It isn’t a great platform for all.

@SomethingDotExe You can publish podcasts and videos on Spotify, too. That works really great.

True, just not really visual focussed content on there, like tutorials for example.

Nice in-depth review of the J2

Good point! I’d forgotten about the first few minutes which I was rampantly skipping through.
