Totally agree. My utopia is having a personal appliance that I use as my host for PeerTube, Mastodon, etc instances and use that personal machine as my interface for chatting, streaming, email, etc. One address available on all ActivityPub enabled services. Separate my federation from the application. Similar to what we do in a business and use SSO services.

yes and no =) You can't of course host videos on peertube from your mastodon account. But you can like and comment videos or pics on pixelfed from your mastodon account.

So it depends what you mean by "use". Or did I get you wrong?

All you can do across the federation is reply and like. If that's all we wanted to do, there would be no need for other apps to speak ActivityPub at all.

I want to be able to post PeerTube videos, open Gitea merge requests, Lemmy threads, ... from a single identity. If I have to create a separate account in each of these apps to use them, federation across them gives me nothing.

Either I don't get your point, or you missed something in the purpose of the fediverse. It seems that you are talking about centralized authentification, and this is not what the fediverse is aiming at.

A service that is build as a VOD platform is not the same as a microblogging platform. Just think about the disk space: After 5 years on a mastodon instance, my data archive is 130Mo. After one week of my own peertube instance, it is more the 1Go.

And anyway, I set up my humble self-hosted peertube instance. Why should I accept mastodon users just because they are mastodon users anywhere?

You should look for providers that propose centralized authentification, like LDAP. Indeed, I have a misskey (microblogging), a peertube (VOD) and a funkwhale (music library) instances hosted on my own. It could be possible to have a single authentification service with yunohost. But this is not what gives the fediverse.

The purpose is: you don't have to register on Youtube to comment from Twitter in a federated world. But It doesn't meean that Twitter will offer you the video features from Youtube.

I legit don't know what you're talking about, but I invite you to read the whole thread. As for the "you missed something", it's just rude, keep that for the birdsite.

If a server is contrary to the rules of another server, there is the possibility of silencing it (invisible messages in the global thread - but still possibility of making users interact between the 2 servers) or simply blocking it (no more interaction will be possible between these 2 servers).

Welcome to fediverse 👍💪

Not only you can reply from Mastodon. Also, I can read you from Friendica and reply as well.

have you happened to created a video with German audio?

@Thomas 🚴🎸🎧 Here is the German translation "Was ist das Fediverse?" https://videos.im.allmendenetz.de/w/09718999-9718-4d01-b9a7-979be3e717a5

@Framasoft

Okay, I just noticed that this response appeared on the PeerTube instance site (specifically, on Framatube). That's good. I achieved that by responding to your post on Mastodon. If you had not posted on Mastodon, would it still be possible for me to comment on your video (that being, the video posted within the Fediverse on your PeerTube instance)?

I now think my assumption that you posted on Mastodon is incorrect. Instead, I'm seeing a rendering of your post on Framatube on my Mastodon server (I assume via the ActivityPub). And so, my responses here are echoed on your PeerTube account (specifically, on your Framatube site). It's very good.

Thanks! We added it 😀

Thanks
