It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions. If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email [email protected]. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.

Any thoughts on Nebula as a YouTube alternative? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

I know Nebula is not exactly open source, but it is pitched as a creator-controlled (or, at least a creator-centric) platform.

YouTube is my main platform of media consumption, and I would prefer to find other avenues that are not quite as monolithic.

Has anyone here tried Nebula? Is it worth it, and is there anything sketchy about it I should be aware of?

That's not really what I'm looking for myself -- I'd like a no-log, no-profile YouTube, myself, and that's not their business model -- but that may not be the case for other people, depending upon what they'd want in a YouTube alternative.
