Comment on Is there a way to mirror corporate social media to the Fediverse?
Twoafros@sh.itjust.works 1 week agoThanks, I didn’t know Peertube had a built in tool for mirroring a channel. I will look into that.
I just found out about lemmit.online from the other answers and I agree with you on having be a different instance is good practice.

Alright. And for your information, the Peertube function is a bit broken. I think the Peertube developers did their best. But Youtube has a lot of datacenter IP address ranges blocked. And they do rate-limiting and force people to sign in after downloading a few videos. Plus yt-dlp (which it relies upon and Youtube are playing this cat and mouse game… So it’s disabled on most instances because it doesn’t really work. I was able to make it work on my instance, but I had to jump through several hoops. Configure a SOCKS proxy and tunnel it over my home, residential internet connection. And I think I transferred my login cookies as well.
