- Comment on Federated wiki software? 1 week ago:
This looks very awesome. So it also functions as a redundant wiki?
Wikipedia should use it. Then others can create their own wikis, which keep a version of articles of Wikipedia.

Probably Germany.
- Comment on Creating A GoToSocial Instance on FediHost 1 week ago:
They say it’s free to use during beta, so that’s probably why there’s no price for it yet.

Can I use Friendica to create a group for my street, invite users to it and make posts posts with pictures have them comment on it?

Lemmy provider.
- Comment on How to open a post to their home instance or using another instance? 4 weeks ago:
In the official Lemmy UI, there’s a “Fediverse logo” that you can click and it will take you to the posters instance.

Exactly! That’s how people usually argue against the Fediverse. People have literally been indoctrinated into believing the internet is centralised.

Where did you read that?

- Comment on Sharing posts across instances 4 weeks ago:
On Lemmy it always translates a link to a post into your own instance.
!peertube@lemmy.wtf will use Lemmy.wtf for me because that’s my instance.
However, on external sites it’s an issue. Here the link it always static. You can install an addon that automatically redirects you to your own Lemmy instance. I have this on Firefox.
- Comment on If you enshitify it they will go 4 weeks ago:
Creating video content is also a lot harder than posting a news article on Lemmy or posting your daily thoughts on Mastodon.
There is content, but there’s not nearly enough to satisfy what you are used to from YouTube.
But hey, things doesn’t just happen by itself. Start consuming the content on PeerTube that already exist there. Engage with the creators. Perhaps even engage with some of your favourite creators on YouTube, asking them to also post their videos on PeerTube.
- Comment on Post with 22k upvotes mentions Lemmy as an alternative to Reddit 4 weeks ago:
Nice, but the only comment I see about Lemmy, is someone who can’t comprehend that the domain “lemmy.world” exists and not “lemmy.com”, because “that’s what an internet address is to the average user”.
- Comment on So glad they are reporting what matters and not some mundane thing. 4 weeks ago:
This is literally 50% of Facebook. The other 50% is rage bait.
- Comment on What exactly is the Fediverse? 4 weeks ago:
Matrix servers can talk to each other, so yes, they are federated. But Matrix is not ActivityPub.

Lemmy has the most smartphone apps.

- Comment on Twitch is limiting streamers to 100 hours of highlights and uploads 5 weeks ago:
Then you might as well just host your own PeerTube instance, which is also something I would encourage big content creators to do. Problem is, you would have to be a bit tech savvy to install and run PeerTube.
The standalone app you talk about probably doesn’t work in practice. What happens when the user shuts down their computer? The videos become unavailable. Then what?
What could work is a 2-in-1 solution, where a content creators video backup also functions as a peertube instance.
Content creators back up their videos, so why not make the videos available for watching, from the same storage?
- Comment on Twitch is limiting streamers to 100 hours of highlights and uploads 5 weeks ago:
PeerTube already have tools that can contribute to the network of instances.
You have “remote runners” which can very easily be set up, which can off-load transcoding of videos and live streams, as well as some other tasks like subtitle generation and thumbnails.
You can also enable redundancy on an instance, which will download videos from other instances and then function as a peer and temporary backup of the video, in case the instance is down.
What I would like to see next, is an easily installable client that will allow users to function as a peer for videos.
The biggest issue however, is storage. Not sure how that can be solved.
- Comment on What if we started uploading YT videos to PeerTube? 5 weeks ago:
They just need to be federated and all content from all of them is available on each server.
- Comment on What if we started uploading YT videos to PeerTube? 5 weeks ago:
With enough PeerTube servers, it might be possible 😁
