YSK: You can post comments to Peertube videos as a Lemmy user

s08nlql9@lemm.ee to You Should Know@lemmy.world – 218 points –

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:

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

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.
