TIL you can subscribe and comment on PeerTube channels and videos from a Lemmy instance. Really a paradigm shift moment for me. One account to access an entire ecosystem of websites.
Now, if only YouTube makes a huge fuck up that convinces creators off the platform...
Wow this is interesting, would you be able to share an example link that works from this site?
It should work the same way as loading an outside community, only that the community name is the channel name. These examples should work:
I got these from https://lemmy.world/post/1394874
When Lemmy loads these channels, the videos are represented as posts, but cumulated likes and federated comments didn't get carried over. Any comment you make on Lemmy however does get federated back to PeerTube.
Yep, isn't fediverse great! (Just for the possibilities alone... Even if one server crashes it's not the entire ecosystem, and just because ppl can choose to associate differently with different clusters of instances doesn't mean you have to complete remove yourself from the ecosystem if you disagree.)
...Which sadly won't happen any time soon as 99% of them wouldn't shift away from the ad revenue model and the fediverse don't offer a comparable alternative.
YouTube standing between the creators and their communities is a big problem. They become the literal thought police that blackholes comments that hit the black box machine learned moderation AI wrong. Creators have no idea their viewers’ comments are being actively censored because these don’t even land on their review page.
There's a lot of channel that doesn't have youtube ads but earn their money via sponsor and patreon. It's definitely doable, but moving audience off platform is the problem.
Not to mention they will have to handle the backend themselves or rely on someone that's not paid to do it but merely on passion alone. I can see small time youtuber build an audience here but the million+ sub one will have some trouble.
I am soooooo not techy but my fedi timeline is full of techy ppl, and I thought these might be fun to share:
from this thread , Darius K (who developed the Hometown fork for Mastodon) shared this: https://wiby.me/. You can build your own search engine???
In terms of hosting your own fedi instances, there's mastohost and yunohost but these two news are interesting to me:
https://calckey.social/notes/9h3u4tz7h7z8v378 - Chris T announcing Spacehost going to be in closed beta soon. Not just for Mastodon, and in fact they're starting with support for Lemmy and Kbin. (Looking into this to pujuk my friends to try fedi via a Calckey instance)
https://mastodon.social/@pixelfed/110703980980525426 - Pixelfed is kinda like an Instagram analogue and this is announcing shared hosting plans soon for Pixelfed instances. I'm super interested as well because Pixelfed has been really working on tiered access for post privacy (mutuals/followers/specific ppl) with post comment permissions or hybrid Allowlist mode. Also looking into trying to encourage friends to join if I have my own server...
>You can build your own search engine???
do you remember google desktop search?
before https became so ubiquitous, there were also proxy servers that you could run to index the websites you visited on the browser.
Ohh, you're basically creating an account on one email provider but trying to login via another.
The "community" is like "subreddit", and "instance" is like "reddit", but instead of simply walled up, it's like reddit able to visit and comment on another reddit-lookalike, but still have to sign up on reddit itself.
Well, since my phone has pretty good OCR, I've gone ahead and set up a Calckey account for me to mirror calls for mutual aid I see on IG and twt ☠️. DM me here or on that account (better that account for me to track) if you also spot any notices that I can help spread over on fedi-side.
