Comment on Peertube's moment might come soon
SamXavia@kbin.run 1 year agoThat's what I'm saying, someone already has to follow, you are then relying on the other people on your instance. It's one of the downsides of the Fediverse in general but it's made even worse with Video as video takes up a lot of space making each instance has limitations on the users stopping them from releasing so many videos.
Like Imagine if someone like Casey Neistat was still releasing daily videos but they where limited due to the possible instance they where using it would suck as it would stop them from uploading there latest video. Hopefully this gets solved in the future with better storage solutions but still it costs a lot to host Video files and that's why most people go to YouTube over anywhere else ATM.
I would love to see PeerTube as well as other Fediverse Video platforms to grow, it's just quite hard for it to grow unless each instance has easily over 100GB per user that uploads.

No it is a different system on peertube compared to lemmy and mastodon. The server admin has to “follow” a server and then all content from that server will be listed in search and the timelines.
I am not saying this is ideal though ^^

That sounds even worse, as the admin of PeerTube will have 100% control who they connect with and will have to know every instance in existence to be able to connect with the ones that the content that is good is on.

I’ve always thought of PeerTube as a content delivery platform ala Plume for blogging. Consuming cross-platform content works much better from Lemmy, Friendica or Mastodon-type platforms.
PeerTube channels looks beautiful in Lemmy and once a user pulls a channel it shows up as a regular community

So Lemmy as Video Support, Good to know.

I agree it might not be a good solution long-term.
