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.
…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.
