This is literally 50% of Facebook. The other 50% is rage bait.
- Comment on What exactly is the Fediverse? 2 days ago:
Matrix servers can talk to each other, so yes, they are federated. But Matrix is not ActivityPub.

- Comment on Twitch is limiting streamers to 100 hours of highlights and uploads 6 days 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 6 days 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? 1 week 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? 1 week ago:
With enough PeerTube servers, it might be possible 😁
- Comment on What Would a Fair and Community-Focused Monetization Model on the Fediverse Look Like? 1 week ago:
I don’t see why the Fediverse can’t be run as non-profit and by volunteers. We are 8 billion people on this planet. I’m sure we can handle it.
- Comment on What if we started uploading YT videos to PeerTube? 1 week ago:
You can do it with videos that’s under the CC license.
I have myself setup a mirror of the official Guild Wars 2 channel, so I can watch their videos on PeerTube. I haven’t asked, but I don’t think they have a problem with the free advertisement.
Best people can do is convince creators on YouTube to also post their content to PeerTube, as well as engage with their audience on PeerTube.

Pretty much, yes. Images is cached. Video is not. However PeerTube supports P2P.
- Comment on Five Confusing Fediverse Things 2 weeks ago:
I doing software transcoding with the 5600G. I have not been able to get VAAPI to work yet.
I posted this issue on the Github page for the plugin that should enable VAAPI transcoding: github.com/TheoLeCalvar/…/3
The transcoding starts just fine, but fails at around 90% done and throw the error message I posted in the issue.

But still, anyone coming from Reddit is going to 100% say it feels shoddy.
I didn’t 😎
Where are you getting errors in your feeds? A specific app? Never had issues on Lemmy with Voyager or the website.
- Comment on Bad UX is keeping the majority of people away from Lemmy 2 weeks ago:
Well that’s just a waste of time really.
- Comment on Bad UX is keeping the majority of people away from Lemmy 2 weeks ago:
Why is “drama” on Lemmy always highly exaggerated by people?
“Endless wars of who federates with who”. What is that person even talking about and who the fuck would even care as a normal user?
- Comment on What is your favorite app for Lemmy? Include Platform 2 weeks ago:
Voyager on iOS. It’s the best for my use case and I like the UI the most.

- Comment on Is PeerTube dead or is discoverability bad? 3 weeks ago:
Yes, video is streamed directly from its home server. There is a an option to mirror videos, so that your server will work as a seed, helping with bandwidth.
Images on Lemmy is also loaded from its home server, but there is a cache.

- Comment on Is PeerTube dead or is discoverability bad? 3 weeks ago:
Yes and no.
By default anyone can follow your instance.
If you want your instance to follow others, you either have to type them in manually or use “auto-follow”, which needs to be enabled manually.
