I used to use cat box but it's not reliable. Stream able works but doesn't allow direct linking. Imgur sucks. Everything else I find is not free or doesn't allow direct linking.

Sure, but the peertube on-boarding sucks. Its miles away from Lemmy or Mastodon. Its also way harder to self-host

I couldn't figure out how to join and which server to join. I assumed it was like lemmy or Mastodon that you pick a server and that's your home. It wasn't obvious to me.

Not really harder. Only naturally more demanding in computational power and storage space.

To be honest, all of the fediverse apps are too difficult to self-host. And yeah, the hardware requirements were what I was referring to. I should have been clearer, sorry.

PeerTube suffers from a lot of defragmentation. Only a few instances federates with a lot of other instances.

With Lemmy or Mastodon, you can almost pick any instance and still be able to federate with anyone.
