Ok Friendica updated. So far so good. I was really concerned since last time I updated Friendica via Yunohost shit hit the fan really badly. This time all good it seems.

Thank you @YunoHost and @Michael Vogel @Hypolite Petovan @Tobias and others that are behind these two projects. Awesome stuff!

Friendica now has scheduled posts (so cool) + you can add your Matrix ID to you profile. How nice!

@Hypolite Petovan I remember you said you enabled auto load of the peertube player in the new friendica. But when I shared a Peertube video like so videos.trom.tf/w/2vBxVQTa4hfC9… it still showcases as before. No embed player. Am I missing something? #tromlive


71. Interview with Cory Doctorow

In this TROM-Cast we will discuss The Internet. What is the Internet and what does it do to our lives? Is it just merely a reflection of our trade-based society, but this time we trade more with our data and attention rather than our currencies?, We …

Please reshare the native PeerTube post from your Friendica account, that’s how you get the embedded video for other Friendica contacts.

Sorry I did not get that. I thought I simply copy the peertube url in the message box like so videos.trom.tf/w/2vBxVQTa4hfC9… and will embed it :D

I believe it only works with YouTube in a specific configuration because we have an exception for it, but we don't need this exception for PeerTube, just paste the URL in the search bar, it should lead you to the native PeerTube post you can reshare directly. You can also try quote-sharing but I've never tried it.

Ah ok I see. That's nice! Would it be difficult to allow embeds of peertube videos using peertube embed code? Maybe I should open an issue for that?

We do that for Youtube because it is popular and we can’t reshare Youtube posts natively, but in the case of PeerTube, I feel like it’s already handled.

@Tio When you put the URL of an ActivityPub posting into the search box in the nav-bar, Friendica will fetch that posting into the system (if it is not there already) and then you can interact with it normally. This way you can comment, like or share a posting like any posting you receive from a contact you are following.

For some reason your video title is imported strangely into my system, leaving some BBCode in the title(???), but when you quote-share the video and leave some text, this should be edit-able.
