Thank you for the anonymous 300 Euros donation! tromsite.com/donate
We will put the money towards buying a satellite dish in order to have a proper internet connection in the motorhome (TROMhome) to be able to manage all of our TROM Projects. If you have no phone signal, thus no Internet, then no one can fix/update any of our websites....but with a satellite internet we can stay connected anywhere basically.
For example when we release a new TROMjaro ISO that is 4-5GB that needs to be uploaded in 2 different places (so around 10GB) and to make sure they upload correctly. So a good and reliable internet connection is a must for us in the motorhome.
We only need 150 Euros more to buy the dish - gofundme.com/f/help-us-get-a-s…
If anyone can help, this is a direct help for TROM. If not, is ok since we will have to buy it anyway one way or another.
This 300 Euros donation is a huge help. Many many thanks!!

This how trade-based society works, i will clean my name by the expense of all planet. I look clean, because i was able to export a huge amount of oil and gas- I am a good boy?? Retarded society 🤣

In a wold where everyone is tired, the easiest is to fall asleep.
Stay sharp and alert people! It is hard, but it may be even harder to wake up from a deep sleep.
That's what I'm trying with all of the projects I do - tiotrom.com/projects/ - keep myself sane and awake.
Sure, not many people get to read the books I wrote, or use the tools I made, or watch the videos I created. But I do these for me first, and the rest second. That's how I keep myself from not sleeping. Is not easy, but what's the alternative!?

TROM II: A Message to the Aliens (documentary)

I agree, we need much more promotion so it can take traction, that seems to be the biggest hurdle at the moment.
In it's current state #peertube and it's connection to the #fediverse via #activitypub is already far superior to #youtube ! In addition to so many other features:)
One thing I think that is really needed is perhaps a way to "boost" content that could point to a central database on #joinpeertube so we would have a way of discovering popular videos.

@tio!
Thanks for pointing out this issue and pushing for PeerTube to be more widely known!
Actually, we don't have the human resources (and therefore the time) to do what you suggest on our own.
We couldn't imagine promoting videos without first reviewing them, and watching videos... takes a lot of time!

What we could imagine is a community effort to curate exclusive PeerTube videos.
Something like what @FediVideo already does.
That way, our small team could promote them more easily!
Either through our social medias or by adding them to the front page of joinpeertube.org.
Soooo... sorry for not saying "Yes, we'll work on it ASAP!" even though we'd love to do so!
Maybe in the future, with the help of our community, your suggestion will become possible!

"second hand youtube channels".
For what it is worth, the line between YouTube and PeerTube is not always as stark as this. For example @michellemay gets most of her views on YouTube but she features the Fediverse in her videos, she even did a video dedicated entirely to the Fedi which she put on YouTube.
Some are on both YouTube and PeerTube equally, and will interact on both platforms.
I think it is worth welcoming these kinds of accounts.
@FediVideo the problem with discoverability for me hasn't been the "second hand youtube videos" (I found most of the content creators I watch on PeerTube from their social links on YouTube). The problem (for me as a user, I bet has a content creator it is the same to be found) is looking for content, on YouTube it is (even if worsening daily) an easy experience because all the content is in one place. For example, using NewPipe allows me to search the local or federated PeerTube instances that I have had to add (try saying that three times without failing) on some forgotten menu. Is there a way to "connect" the search on PeerTube to the whole federation (without leaving PeerTube, ergo, keeping people inside the same "portal"/experience)? I know this is a centralised way of thought, but someone coming from centralised platforms (not being technical-minded) will quit after a few seconds.
@tio thank you for the content, I've subscribed to several channels on the instance and I'll be showing them to my family and friends.

@FediVideo @peertube @tio
I agree that Peertube loses something good about centralization: a way to search the entire Peertube network. I think joinpeertube.org/browse-conten… does that well tho. And every instance can enable global searches like we do with videos.trom.tf - tho this is a general issue with decentralization and even these global searches will not search through all of the content.
One server needs to discover another and its contents in order to be aware of them. But this technology I think is still in its early stages and looking at how much Peertube evolved over the past 2-3 years it gives me hope that there will be better solutions for this.
I like the idea of grayjay.app/ where you are following "creators" and not channels. Can be Youtube, Peertube, or whatever. The fediverse needs to be integrated with the other platforms like this through some sort of app maybe....
@peertube love the work you have been doing (and the steady betterment of PeerTube as a whole), and @FediVideo 's work for a better Fediverse too. Thank you all!

PeerTube's own Sepia Search is trying to cover having a single search system in one place. It uses a blocklist system to screen out bad content when it's reported.
I'm trying to do my own single place to discover content at fedi.video but using an allowlist system instead, so I only allow accounts to appear on the site if I manually approve them.
These are the two ways of providing a unified search for discovery, I think there's a place for both?
I understand about vetting the videos. I also have to do this with the content we promote. Takes time indeed. But somehow this needs to be done bit by bit so that people understand Peertube is not just a place to mirror youtube videos. You do enough work on the software already so I am thinking if there are ways for me/us to help with the content discovery.
Maybe if you'd have some guidelines as to what can go on the joinpeertube page some people could "apply" to get their content featured.
In any case, thanks for your work. We will continue ours ;).
