If you're looking for content, try Sepia-search! https://search.joinpeertube.org/
It searches across 800+ known instances for content. But there could still be tons of unknown instances out there, which is why I'm asking around the Fediverse about any new channels/content.
@favrion @phil299 @fit6529 Well, with TILvids.com it's meant to be an instance with mainly Edutainment-content. It's selectively curated, so most of what is there is not too politically inclined. But much of it is tech-related.
But since anyone can post anything on their own instance, you would certainly find many instances with lots of political content.
Personally I post edited gaming videos in Norwegian, from sessions with my friends (some texted to english): https://peertube.linuxrocks.online/a/bloodaxe/video-channels
@favrion @phil299 @fit6529 It's basically a Peer2Peer version of YouTube, that also communicates via ActivityPub. This means I can use my Mastodon account (or any other ActivityPub service) to subscribe to PeerTube creators, and recieve their content in my feed.
Videos are pulled from an instance, and multiple instances can share their videos between each other to increase their reach. If multiple people watch a video at the same time, they share the serverload between eachother using P2P-tech.
@phil299 @fit6529 What TILvids is doing isn't wrong though. They want you to only discover a certain type of content when you visit their site (edutainment). And I like that, having more specialized instances. Then you know where to go to find quality.
TILvids only federate with one instance ATM, neat.tube, which is owned by TechLore whom produces Edutainment-content.
@phil299 @fit6529 Wait, this is only partially true. Whilst you can always sub to other PeerTube accounts accross instances, TILvids will not actively federate with everything and everyone. This directly affect what videos you can discover directly through TILvids, and that seems to be the most popular instance ATM. Or it's the one I keep hearing about at least.
We have Sepia-search that helps with discoverability, but not every instance has it activated. Again, this hurts smaller instances.
@GreenZero @cheeseblintzes @brenomartins Ok, that certainly is a step in the right direction! 😃 It just needs to work across more services.
But hey, it's free and it works! 👍
@cheeseblintzes @brenomartins It's amazing how intertwined these services are thanks to using #ActivityPub 😄 Commenting from Fosstodon.org right now! 💬
Now I just need a #BrowserExtention to smoothly reply and upvote across federated services without having to copy-pasting the link manually into my instance search-bar 🤔
@fm0d @vreraan Haha, this was basically my journey over to #Linux 😂 And frankly, it was also my journey over to the #Fediverse as a whole!One day I just decided that enough was enough, and I had to practice what I preached.
So here I am, Linux, Fediverse and all!
@Ipodjockey @brenomartins What do you mean by this exactly? Lemmy is a federated platform, so if a rogue leadership for instance took over lemmy.world, you could spin up your own instance and migrate your community over there, and still connect with the broader network!
Now for the power of federated democracy to work properly, we need to not centralize on gigantic servers... 🤔 And that's hard to do properly, whilst still keeping things user-friendly enough for most folks.
