  I came here from Reddit after figuring out the platform is beyond saving

  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!

    Could you post some recommendations?

    PeerTube Companion LINK
    Try browser extenion. It redirects youtube videos to peertube when it detects the same video on both sites.

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

    source

    • Allero@lemmy.today ⁨1⁩ ⁨hour⁩ 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

    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

    I just don’t use youtube, I prefer reading blogs anyway but I’ll look around!

• turdburglar@sh.itjust.works ⁨6⁩ ⁨hours⁩ 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 ⁨6⁩ ⁨hours⁩ 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.

      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.

  The Fediverse is the way. In this Financialised capitalism, capitalist platforms will continue to be enshitified as they only tend to shareholders interests of continual growth. They do not care about humans.

  We need to keep this momentum going.

    yes, probably from fediverse.observer itself going offline

      Then they need to be removed for normalization of the data and average daily volumes.

  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 ⁨8⁩ ⁨hours⁩ 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 ⁨8⁩ ⁨hours⁩ 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.

    too bad alot of them are still significant on reddit, and are unlikely to move here, unless they all get banned somehow. we might see more users here if reddit does another ban wave, although i think reddit mightve figured shadowbanning is much more useful.

  What’s with masto’s spontaneous drop in posts and contemporaneous rise in users about a month ago?

  source

  • Die4Ever@retrolemmy.com ⁨11⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

    it must’ve been a big instance going offline (or switching platforms? or blocking the stats collection?)

    also note a lot of those graphs don’t start at 0, the Y axis is zoomed

  not loving the inorganic appearance in some of those rises and climbs. the sudden ones or the curved ones.

  source

  • Elgenzay@lemmy.ml ⁨8⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

    The first big jump lines up with the Reddit API Controversy. The June 2025 rise and fall is users migrating from lemm.ee, and then their previous accounts becoming inactive. I imagine the other irregularities are from similar events
