Is there normal content on PeerTube? (lemellem.dasonic.xyz)

I've been exploring more of the Fediverse these last few months, Mastadon, Lemmy, PixelFed and found amazing communities.

I thought I would check PeerTube, the fediverse's answer to YouTube and it is... Bizarre. I used FediDB to check out the biggest instances, and as far as I can see, PeerTube seems to be mostly either a) French, or b) Gore.

Which leads me to my question, is there "normal" content on PeerTube, as in something you might find on YouTube? Who are your favourite creators? Have I approached PeerTube the wrong way?

Edit: Not to say that French is not normal, I'm just after English videos :)

*Ah misère, ces vils anglois qui ne croyent pas que le contenu Français est normal *

Joke aside, the reason why you'll see so many french content on peertube is that it's development funded by Framasoft a large french no profit. Giving it a larger audience in the Francosphere, at a point a couple of medium youtuber do have mirror on peertube, and a couple of official institution moved to Peertube.

Then define normal content you won't find large youtuber, there isn't an easy way to make much money from ads. However, if you look for Blender tutorials , someone repairing a guitar pedal some cycling in Germany or some electronic music mix session OK that one is almost french you can find-it
