Comment on Activity Pub: Can I join a PeerTube or Mastodon server using a Lemmy account?
VoxAliorum@lemmy.ml 1 day agoBut this is a peertube limitation, right? Activity Pub itself provides the video information and peertube - due to whatever reasons (most likely the economical reasons you mention) - decides to not use that information / reject “the mail”. Is a message sent is only stored on the receiving end or also on the node I am sending it from?

Images and videos on Activity Pub are send as direct links to the host.
So you can send text comments from Lemmy to peertube that will be replicated, and watch the video by “following” direct links to the host (it is done automagically in your browser or app).

This explanation on how images and videos are embedded while text messages are copied is really helpful!
