    the problem with this place is it’s not user-friendly. and the posts/comments are too nerdy/niche for most people. my lemmy frontpage is like 50% linux nonsense.

    • FundMECFS@anarchist.nexus ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      My problem is less the nerdy and niche stuff. Because there’s a lot of communities and you can subscribe to what you like.

      My problem is more how there’s a lot of debate lords, arseholes, and I’m the smartest in the world types.

      But I guess that’s the case on all social media. Really shits on what’s otherwise a nice experience here tho.

  Having spent about 2 years on Lemmy, I made the commitment to ditch YouTube in favor of PeerTube.

  At first, it may look like there’s mostly garbage and privacy enthusiasts, but that’s only because recommendations and search are not very powerful compared to other platforms.

  PeerTube is home to troves upon troves of high-quality original content on various topics, you just have to look for it. And for your YouTube-exclusive needs, there are instances that mirror popular channels.

  Give it a spin!

  source

  • VitabytesDev@feddit.nl ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    Can you give me a small list of channels producing such high quality content on Peertube?

    source

    • Allero@lemmy.today ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      What the other commenter said, look for these instances, especially TILvids

      Other than these, some specific recommendations:

      -Gardiner Bryant (gbryant@subscribeto.me) - tech YouTuber dipping toes into PeerTube

      -Oh The Urbanity! (ohtheurbanity@video.canadiancivil.com)

      • urbanism and sustainable development

      -ASMR of the Fediverse (asmrfediverse@peertube.wtf) - self-explanatory, ASMR videos specifically produced and release on the Fediverse. Exclusive high-quality content!

      -Making Waves/Roots and Calluses (makingwaves@video.katehildenbrand.com & katehildenbrand@video.katehildenbrand.com) - personal/professional blogs of a marine biologist Kate Hildenbrand, both very worth a watch

      -Veronica Explains (veronicaexplains@tinkerbetter.tube) - a very cute and non-typical Linux channel from a veteran tech enthusiast

      -Films (films@fedi.video) - old but gold public domain films

      -Historical Shorts (historical@fedi.video) - some more tapes from the past

      Difficult to recommend specific channels as I don’t know what you’d like, but I’ve found high quality content hosted on these instances :

      • makertube.net
      • tilvids.com
      • video.hardlimit.com

      Other creators host their own instance. For example there’s @ozoned doing interview of fediverse people at video.firesidefedi.live

      Take a look at !peertube@lemmy.world (or the links on the side) and look at Top. Maybe you will see some channels you would like.

      And if your on piefed, you can take a look at https://piefed.social/f/fediversevideos, lots of great channels!

    Peertube takes awhile to figure out/get going. Other stuff like Mastodon/Akkoma, Lemmy/Piefeed, were easy to figure out to the point where I just set up my own Akkoma instance on my server.

    Peertube...oof that took awhile. Yeah the problem is the recommendations and search. you really have to get in there and dig through the top layer of shit before you find the diamonds underneath. There are some FANTASTIC tutorial channels on PeerTube for dev stuff, linux, game dev, etc.

    Also the other problem is finding a good Peertube instance. Don't go by whatever lists are out there, it's honestly via word of mouth that you'll find the good ones which is sort of a shame. I think that's the main thing that's holding it back. for stuff like Mastodon or even Piefeed/Lemmy what instance you're on doesn't matter all that much as their all incredibly connected and pretty much provide you with the same "front end" so to speak.

    Peertube? it's a mess in most cases. Some instances are super duper customized to the instance owners preferences, others are barely searchable, etc so in a way unlike other fediverse stuff Peertube feels a bit disconnected from itself

• turdburglar@sh.itjust.works ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

  ok. so i’ve got around 30tb (and counting) of live music recordings from a small club that hosts national touring folk and americana acts. i would LOVE to have it accessible somewhere other than youtube with all the fukin ads, but i am not sure how to go about making them peer tube accessible.

  the instances that i’ve looked into have pretty low caps on storage and for clear and understandable reasons. but that leaves me in the lurch. i’m not able to set up my own instance as the recordings are ongoing and that takes all my available time and resources.

  anyone have some knowledge that it don’t?

  long live the fediverse.

  • rimu@piefed.social ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    You could upload the files to a S3 bucket, which would give them a url on the web. Then just make a PieFed post which links to each MP4 file.

    Piefed will detect that it's a video post and embed it in the page with player controls. If you use a community just for your videos then the RSS feed of that community will effectively be a podcast.

    S3 buckets are pretty cheap but 30 tb is still going to cost you. Transcode to a smaller file before upload, ideally.

    source

    • turdburglar@sh.itjust.works ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      thanks for that. i’m currently saving up for more drives to create the second copy of the 1-2-3 backup scheme. the gang of 2tb ssd’s are all i’ve got aside from the compressed-to-fuck youtube copies. that’s been creating quite a bit of anxiety for me being in charge of so many other peoples artworks.

      we started in 2020 and do 6-10 90 minute shows a week, so it’s a lot to be responsible for. of course they aren’t all gems, but imo they all do deserve to be part of the larger document of this time and place.

      if anyone is interested the youtube videos are made searchable on www.livefromnorfolkstreet.com

      click on the ARCHIVE link in the nav bar. no paywall.

      i’d recommend the alejandro escovedo shows. he’s always great and i did the live lights for a few of his shows.

  I’ve only been on Lemmy a few days and i can already tell i like it, but can understand the frustration in figuring out what an instance is, or what a federation is.

    Reddits transformation into a Nazi sympathizing shithole was remarklably swift. Don’t get me wrong, that place was going downhill the second they decided their user base was a product, but it pivoted from generic corporate advertising shithole to fascist friendly nuclear waste pit with remarkable speed. So many micro pud incels willying to volunteer for the brown coats, it’s disgusting.

    Nah thats not a frustration, just your ego settling down. Real frustration is realizing most instances die or have shit registration functions, along with most having unfamiliar names that you’ll also have to remember. Most apps have been a nightmare with this, genuinely just say fuck it and dont even care about this account.

    The federation system is cool but not unique, its just what all servers have been doing and now theres a choice being handed to the user as well. It doesn’t really defeat a centralized system.

    I always though about something like folding at home but for a social media. Essentially the same thing as a centralized network, but with a scheduled ‘decay’ as main issue for large sites is the actual horde of content. Text based instances could have longer decay time with a refresh basis for visits. With an archival option for regular post, and a trend option for porn-centric instances.

    Porn often exploit and subverts most services like this however I think it is a very influential thing that cannot be banned nor freely allowed. However, one can only really generalize so much about porn - but it is a strong way for those in power to subscribe others to their ideals. So noticing trends like the porn hub chart is important. Someone should study 4chan porn trends since 2012 to now. Huge dynamic shift in thread titles alone. All that free fox marketing of the fappening really got their target demographic hooked and the later pepe dogwhistle. Hooboy.

  Lemmy could use more OC in niche communities.

  Most posts are links to other websites.

  It might be good to try and post OC from Lemmy or the rest of the Fediverse to mainstream social media sites as a form of exposure.

  Maybe we can get this type of idea to become more common here.

  source

  • bassomitron@lemmy.world ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    Lemmy is a link aggregator. Reddit is as well. Sure, Reddit has started to generate a lot more OC over the last decade, but it took over a decade for that to pick up momentum and gain millions of active users. I don’t want a mindless cesspool of half-assed OC. I mostly just want an easy one-stop-shop for news, memes, and discussions.

    source

    • fujiwood@lemmy.world ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      It didn’t take a decade for OC on smaller communities. I’ve been using Reddit since 2009. There was plenty of OC since 2012.

    • TubularTittyFrog@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      most of the banning comes from the bigger subs, not the small niche ones.

  Graphs don’t how the people who moved from “Reddit” to “Outside”.

  Also, any decline in the fediverse could also be being fed up with all the overwhelming political doomer posts and also decide to change their platform to “Going Outside”.

  So a decline can still be overall positive for human socialization, even if it might not be the best for the fediverse.

    r/Redditalternatives describes the various reasons that people decided to abandon Lemmy and go back to Reddit:
    - lack of content
    - too difficult to figure out how to use
    - it's "the place that tankies built"
    - too toxic, extremist leftists piling on anything not supporting their dogma hard enough, or sometimes just "too political"
    - overall they do not feel welcomed. Tbf many on Reddit are centrists or even conservatives, and quite toxic themselves.

    Notably, PieFed provides solutions to many of these e.g. the sign-up wizard that subscribes people to communities based on their indicated interests.

  I’m actually in a state of confusion over the fediverse, reddit, and social media as a whole atm. I loved switching over to Lemmy because of the foss/decentralizing and lower user count at first. If I see a thread with 1500 comments I’m less likely to interact with it, like trying to hold a meaningful conversation at a concert event.

  Forums and articles are slowing becoming harder to find for information without going through 6 AI pages repeating the same paragraph in 20 different ways without really telling you anything new, so that’s slowly becoming more of a burden. Reddit is so inundated with mainstream now that even a specific trade community just has terrible trash comments that get upvoted and can even drown out a professionals real informational response (like youtube does a lot) but … at least it’s there I suppose.

  Lemmy… well yes this space is “nerdy”, but there’s very few specific nerds. by that I mean like the true nerd definition of someone so into this one niche thing that they completely lose all touch with social ques because their area came up in conversation and they are salivating to talk about it. I just recently got told in the most popular pc build community here that they never really bothered looking at memory speed… I was flabbergasted.

  so idk what I would like to see Lemmy become or the future of these types of sites in general. I forced myself to make that post on the pc build community because I was going through the process and maybe it would help someone out in the future and a little socializing while going through a project seems interesting. But, I have so many other posts I think about and just don’t do because it’s going to be either generic responses or me talking into the void with putting a lot of work into collecting all the data I have and formatting it/etc. Time is always limited, so it’s a battle over priorities and responsibilities.
