Breadtube if it didn't suck.
Post videos you genuinely enjoy and want to share, duh. Celebrate the diversity of interests shared by chapochatters by posting a deep dive into Venetian kelp farming, I dunno. Also media criticism, bite-sized versions of left-wing theory, all the stuff you expected. But I am curious about that kelp farming thing now that you mentioned it.
Low effort / spam videos might be removed, especially weeb content.
There is a cytube that you can paste videos into and watch with whoever happens to be around. It's open submission unless there's something important to commandeer it with at the time.
A weekly watch party happens every Saturday (Sunday down under), with video nominations Saturday-Monday, voting Monday-Thursday. See the pin for whatever stage it's currently in.

It's definitely niche and it seems to be much more of a cul-de-sac for baby leftists, although you see the odd solarpunk person in primarily anarchist spaces just like you do with the odd egoist. There are also works of solarpunk theory, to use that term generously, but idk if anyone aside from the hardcore fans actually take any of it seriously.
I agree with everything else you have said aside from this part:
I'm a staunch materialist so imo the socialist revolution is more important because it's a necessary precondition and we can work on building the future from that point. [Insert all other the standard boilerplate materialist arguments which I'm not gonna bore you with here]
Ah, sorry, I think I perhaps worded the last point poorly. I meant it's equally if not more important [than unspecified other things] in achieving a successful socialist victory. Yes the socialist revolution is absolutely a necessary precondition.
I get you. I figured that you didn't mean it that way (although I wasn't gonna tell you what you meant with your own words), hence why I didn't litigate a whole argument telling you why I thought your take was the wrong one.
