There is now a dynamic list at [instances.peertu.be](https://instances.peertu.be/instances), maintained by [@Chocobozzz](https://github.com/Chocobozzz). It is not playing any role in the federation process at the moment, but it's a nice aid if you want to discover instances or be discovered.
If you want to follow them automatically as they come you have 2 scripts, but *then beware that you blindly trust every other admin for enforcing sane moderation policies* :
-* [Peetube AutoDiscover](https://github.com/Jorropo/PeerTube-autoDiscover) by Jorropo, that uses following and followers list of nodes you already follow to discover new nodes.
+* [Peetube AutoDiscover](https://framagit.org/Jorropo/peertube-autodiscover) by Jorropo, that uses following and followers list of nodes you already follow to discover new nodes.
- Can discover nodes unlisted in the official list (if an admin forgot to add their node in the official list this isn't a problem) as it recursively asks nodes you already know.
- Doesn't require a central node exchange point (node list)
- More secure than shell script (shell script use file as variable for storage of login token)
-* [script from Skid](https://github.com/Chocobozzz/PeerTube/issues/406#issuecomment-397452809) and [python3 version](https://gist.github.com/Jorropo/e5e7bc471e290cb8098e36b150288631)

- Faster
- Protects privacy (maybe if a node isn't listed on [instances.peertu.be](https://instances.peertu.be/instances) there is a reason)
