Here is a comment I posted on one of the videos of @thelinuxexperiment@tilvids.com

https://tilvids.com/w/h8BKcxxixYFE8RekmR5Ux3;threadId=29688

This is helpful as you don't need to create a Peertube account if you want to engage in the video's comment section.

EDIT: Subscribing to the user like a Community is better than searching the video. Try this link if works in your instance - !thelinuxexperiment_channel@tilvids.com

So if I understand, your instance needs to "discover" the user then subscribe to it before it shows up in your feed

However, you need to search the video in Lemmy before you can post your comment. I'm not yet sure why but my lemmy username is not (yet?) recognized in Peertube page:

So we have decentralised versions or Twitter, Reddit and YouTube? What a great time this is.

[-] 001100010010@lemmy.dbzer0.com 19 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Meh, decentralized youtube alternatives have practically nothing interesting.

Social media and forums, I can see them getting replaced. Social media and forums are about the people, powered by discussion amongst peers. Decentralized Social platforms will thrive if there's enough people. A video platform? Videos take a lot more effort and only a small percentage of users are really "content creators". These content creators typically want to get paid for so much effort they put in to the videos, so it's really unlikely a decentralized platform can provide adequate compensation. Youtube ain't going away anytime soon whether you like it or not.

TLDR; Video Platforms =/= Social medias and Forums.

On the other hand, more and more video creators on YouTube make the bulk of their money off of Patreon, rather than YouTube ads, and if it were possible to increase their Patreon subscriptions by posting to PeerTube as well as YouTube, interesting things could happen.

That would really surface the cost of video hosting, though

[-] marfey@feddit.de 2 points 1 year ago

Most Podcasts live off of Patreon and no compensation from hosting services. And still they are out there. I don't see the difference to videos. The only thing youtube has over peertube is visibility. But one can argue peertube in combination with some other fediverse service like Mastodon or Lemmy can fix this and give you more visibility for your videos.

[-] rustyriffs@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Interesting, what are your thoughts on the 'piped' youtube front end that I've been seeing on here?

[-] 001100010010@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

That is still Youtube. Google can take down videos they don't like. The point of decentralization is to spread power so that no single entity can censor anything. (Although, collectively, they can still stop unwanted content, such as hate speech, but not something that one instance admin can do. People can always repost to another instance.) Using a front-end to access Youtube doesn't not change the fact that Google is still in control. I mean, I could use Firefox + uBlock Origin + a VPN to browse Youtube and achieve the same thing as whatever front-end you use.

[-] GeekFTW@kbin.social 17 points 1 year ago

More than that too, there's also Bookwyrm (Goodreads), Pixelfed (Instagram) and others.

[-] Kichae@kbin.social 10 points 1 year ago

And Instagram. PixelFed's really good.

Oh, and Goodreads. BookWyrm doesn't get enough love.

There's also Mobilizon, a federated events calendar and groups platform.

And a whole bunch of other stuff, but, like PeerTube, they're somewhat content sparse at the moment.

[-] 001100010010@lemmy.dbzer0.com 29 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Oh really? This fediverse thing is awesome! 😃

Edit: So how do I search the video in Lemmy?

Edit 2: I tried searching a channel like this: !igem_community@video.igem.org and nothing happend after clicking the search button 10 times. I check the instances and the peertube instance isn't blocked but also isn't "linked". I'm not sure this is even working.

Edit 3: It worked! https://video.igem.org/w/fy4txsfL2A33eUPmQgZLFp look at my comment! 😃 All I did was put the link in the Lemmy search bar and clicked search a few times.

[-] redcalcium@c.calciumlabs.com 9 points 1 year ago

Simply paste the video's full link into lemmy's search bar and wait a bit until the video appear.

For example, take the video linked in this post: https://tilvids.com/w/h8BKcxxixYFE8RekmR5Ux3

If you paste it into the search field in lemmy.world, you'll get this link: https://lemmy.world/post/1109318 . There, you can proceed to comment using your lemmy account. If you're not in lemmy.world, just do the same but using the search field in your instance.

[-] 001100010010@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 1 year ago

Holy shit it worked!

[-] Vlhacs@reddthat.com 13 points 1 year ago

It's pretty cool obviously but until we can see peertube videos directly in our lemmy feed it's just a fun gimmick. Copying the URL into a lemmy search box just so you can post a comment seems a bit cumbersome. Unless I'm misunderstanding this post

[-] s08nlql9@lemm.ee 5 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

you can subscribe to the Peertube user just like a Community in Lemmy. here is the community page for thelinuxexperiment_channel

!thelinuxexperiment_channel@tilvids.com (EDIT: fixed link as suggested by helper bot)

I guess this will be updated once the user uploads new videos.

[-] CommunityLinkFixer@lemmings.world 9 points 1 year ago

Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn't work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: !thelinuxexperiment_channel@tilvids.com

[-] Kichae@kbin.social 7 points 1 year ago

Subscribing to the user like a Community

Being pedantic for the sake of clarifying why this works when Lemmy doesn't let you follow users: You're subscribing to a PeerTube channel, and just like with YouTube, users can have multiple channels. PeerTube uses an ActivityPub group for channels, just as Lemmy uses them for communities.

[-] DrQuint@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

It would be interesting to see app attempt to incorporate things like this. Probably none will since it's bloat, but the possibility is interesting.

[-] speaker_hat@lemmy.one 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

It didn't work for me (I'm from lemmy.one instance)

[-] s08nlql9@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago

i also noticed some channels are not reachable/seachable in lemmy. this could be federation issues or delay in caching content, but not entirely sure

[-] 1eyepatch@lemmy.fmhy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

pretty cool

[-] Corkyskog@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 year ago

Do I need a peertube account to search peertube, or can I use my Lemmy account? How do I access peertube if I just wanted to browse videos on there?

[-] s08nlql9@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

you need to know the channel name you want to subscribe to using this format:

channelname@instancename

example is gaycookie_studios@peertube.tv (i just browsed a random channel in peertube)

looks like my instance doesn't know this channel yet, but if i search it a few times or directly accessing this channel link, it will hopefully find it

!gaycookie_studios@peertube.tv

[-] yessikg@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 1 year ago

I don't know how to search from lemmy but there's a general search: https://joinpeertube.org/browse-content And you can search/browse each instance too
