The Linux Experiment Channel (From Nick) is on Peertube, and it federates right into Lemmy as a community

ChaosAD@lemmy.ml to Linux@lemmy.ml – 361 points –

Really, how awesome is that?

We could also show some support being active there from our Lemmy accounts!

I also like how Newpipe can open that link.

I recently discovered AntennaPod can be used as a PeerTube client as well.

Although I don't like them them mixed in with my podcasts so I cloned the app and just have one that I use separately.

How did you clone the app?

There's an app on FDroid called shelter that creates a sandboxed "work" profile.

I highly recommend subscribing to his Patreon page since peertube gives him no monetization avenues understandably.

I quite like his podcast he does for Patreon members every week. Just a short life/channel update series.

Now this is what I am talking about! Just get lemmy/kbin/etc to support embedded video from peertube at least and we are getting closer to the decentralized everything app!

I love how musk is trying to make X the everything app all on his centralized network, and here we are building a decentralized everything network with dozens of open platforms and good 3rd party clients outpacing whatever musk is trying to cook.

Free market at work, imo, Musk can cry all he wants about advertisements, but here we are supported entirely by donations

Other integration point, but I'm less sure. Syncing peertube accounts with other instances, so my subscriptions can follow me and my comment/threads can too!

Also, the comments don't seem to be syncing correctly between the peertube video and the community post. Peertube apparently supports using accounts from other fediverse instances, but it failed for this account I am using now.

is this community the Peertube channel? through Newpipe i can see peertube comments (even lemmy accounts!) but on that community i see none. also the lammy client might be an issue..?

i'm really exited about this, now i'll be able to correct people wrong on the internet like i can't do on youtube videos!!

I have heard that it might be an issue with Peertube's federation implementation, in that its not properly pushing externally.

is this community the Peertube channel?

Lemmy "communities", PeerTube "channels", Mobilizon "Groups", Kbin "magazines", and Mastodon "Groups" are all functionally the same thing in the Fedi.

You can follow Lemmy communities on Mastodon as well, it just has a different (bad) UI. That's why you'll occasionally see users on Lemmy annoyingly @ 12 people in a reply.

yes i've interacted with mastodon users here through lemmy, but am still figuring out how i get on the other platforms from here

thanks for the clarification!

now i'll get a mastoson client to follow communities on lemmy, hop on peertube comments from here and hopefully lurk on mastodon from newpipe muAHAHaHahHahah

am still figuring out how i get on the other platforms from here

Not sure what you mean by that. You can't log into a Mastodon server with a Lemmy account. And I don't think you can follow a Mastodon user from Lemmy. They're just designed to be separate, for good reason.

i meant to comment or just see the content from there, like i've seen mastodon users' comments here on lemmy and lemming comments on peertube

like i've seen mastodon users' comments here

You simply follow the Lemmy community (displayed as "groups") on Mastodon.

and lemming comments on peertube

Just follow the PeerTube channels (displayed as "communities") on Lemmy. As seen in the OP.

thanks, i got it! i just managed to comment on a video :D

funny thing is that, through lemmy, i can only see my own comments, although there are several additional ones from peertube's view

EDIT: re-phrasing

Interesting, my understanding is that they should appear on PeerTube but maybe they have disabled that.

Neat, it almost works in sync but it just shows an empty community with an "error loading page" toast

Doesn't seem to work right on kbin, unfortunately, although it does show up as a magazine: https://kbin.social/m/thelinuxexperiment\_channel@tilvids.com

Did you try to search in Kbin? In Lemmy we have to search the community in order to federate

Yeah; I also tried subbing in case that kicks off federation and searched a few titles to see if they ended up in random incorrectly as well (stuff like that happens sometimes with kbin). The magazine has seen a few microblogs mentioning the channel, and it clearly picked up the avatar/icon, description, etc. somehow, but doesn't seem to be getting any videos as threads/posts and I couldn't find any floating around disconnected either. I think kbin most likely doesn't understand what PeerTube is publishing through AP, but there could always be federation weirdness or something.

It doesn't work on lemmy.zip

Maybe this peertube instance blocked lemmy.zip?

they likely blanket banned/filtered the .zip tld due to the rather large security problems it brings. I had the same problem with my instance initially before I explicitly whitelisted lemmy.zip

yeah, wasnt a good idea to use .zip
