Welcome to our virtual third place, The Café.
Come on in and make a new human connection over a cup of coffee (or Teh Tarik). This is a casual community, do whatever you want, share your oyen pics, your frustrations, and even organize a weekend picnic with the community. The world is your oyster.
Rules are simple, be kind and civil with each other. As with any other café, rude patrons will be kicked out.

MODERATORS
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...
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.)
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.
>but cumulated likes and federated comments didn’t get carried over.
this is actually normal behavior for loading new remote communities in lemmy. for new likes and comments (that were made after the initial load) to come in, you usually have to subscribe to the community.
...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.
