in reply to Tio • • •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.

in reply to Tio • • •@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!

in reply to PeerTube • • •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!

in reply to PeerTube • • •Thank you for the shoutout 🙏
"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.

in reply to Fedi.Video 🎁 • • •YouTube can be a gateway to PeerTube if we welcome these kinds of accounts which have feet in both worlds.
This will be especially true if/when YouTube enshittifies further, PeerTube could become the better way of viewing videos for a lot of people if they see it as an option presented by the YouTube channels they follow.
Going back to Michelle's channel, this kind of thing is excellent for the Fediverse:

in reply to PeerTube • •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 ;).

Unknown parent • •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....

Unknown parent • • •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?
