  Youtube is the one google service I still can’t give up lol. PeerTube is awesome, but long-form video platforms feel like they suffer from a lack of content way more than any other social media imo. At least there’s newpipe for the time being (except whenever google changes something to screw with them).

  Have you tried organic maps as a google maps replacement at all? I’ve been using it for a while now and honestly it works extremely well most of the time.

    Oh yeah I got OSM installed. Just need to get pissed off just a tiny bit more. I already rarely use maps anyway.

    Organic maps is pretty good, though it doesn’t have up to date enough info if you want to use it to find restaurants and businesses. I find it’s actually more accurate for things like paths, benches, other outdoor features basically.

      I’ve been adding all that info to my local area on it. Just ripping the info straight from Google maps and putting it into organic maps so I can switch over.

    Creating video content is also a lot harder than posting a news article on Lemmy or posting your daily thoughts on Mastodon.

    There is content, but there’s not nearly enough to satisfy what you are used to from YouTube.

    But hey, things doesn’t just happen by itself. Start consuming the content on PeerTube that already exist there. Engage with the creators. Perhaps even engage with some of your favourite creators on YouTube, asking them to also post their videos on PeerTube.

  My calendar is now on Thunderbird, which has an excellent mobile app as well.

  I’m having good luck replacing document editors with onlyoffice, Although many people recommend Colabora (with LibreOffice on desktop)

    One of those has a network version of libre office so you can dockerize it and serve it from your central server.

      You can run either one from a server or locally. LibreOffice allows realtime collaboration in spreadsheets only. OnlyOffice I think allows it in all programs. Both have web editors. Both work with Nextcloud /OwnCloud. It depends on what you want to do with your server.
