I want to stop using youtube but have a hard time finding content on peertube.

Do you have channels/ instances you recommend?

I currently only have three instances added to my home feed

Fairtube
Framatube

Unfortunately I don’t think I have any advice I can give to discover PeerTube creators other than just browsing on PeerTube instances.

But what I can recommend doing is reaching out to your favourite YouTube creators and ask if they can mirror their videos to PeerTube.
Obviously they aren’t guaranteed to do so, but the more people ask, the more likely it becomes they’ll eventually do it or at least consider it.

You can use accessibility and redundancy (backup of their content) as reasoning.

I'm a simple person, I see someone mention peertube, I mention the instance peertube.wtf
