Some peertube instances do, most do not. Some have manual processes, some don’t.
Ex: https://makertube.net/signup
And no one is stopping anyone from creating their own server. Yunohost even makes it a one click solution.
It’s just like Lemmy/fediverse stuff. Each instance provider has their own rules. And that’s ok
I’ve seen their code and how they operate. Seems legit to me but I’m a bit biased.
Yep no reason to scale until you need to scale.
Everyone wants it to be YouTube. With ads and algorithms and…
Just let it be peertube. It works now.
I have a server with less than 100gb that’s running it for a year so far. No issues and even has a channel with 100 or so subscribers (literally my dog).
It’s p2p capabilities make it pretty easy to distribute videos. And the server admins have the ability to toggle if they want to host other videos from other instances or not. They even have the ability to host specific individual videos if they want to support certain creators. Its a very intelligent system.
If anyone wants to take a look, we have a couple different communities/channels/videos over on !peertube@lemmy.world
If you go to coffee shops, you can literally see the chatgpt prompt in most browsers where people are doing work.
Its been pretty good. Lemmy has more momentum…but that doesn’t really mean much when you can just subscribe to different instances all over the place.
It has quite a few UI templates. So you can further customize your experience. Its initial setup is MUCH nicer than lemmy. It has starter pack kinda deals. Theres a lot of other cool features like reposts show all comments from both postings. I also self hosted my own for a tiny bit, but I like the default piefed.social website the most. It is much more stable haha.
Plus Piefed can hook into other ActivityHub providers like peertube, mastodon, etc…without any real issues. Its a bit better than lemmy in that it utilizes the nature of the fediverse a bit more. Dont get me wrong, there both very solid projects. But as a layman, Im really enjoying piefed.
Its really cool to see username@instance1 and username@instance2 on community instance3. It means Activityhub is doing its job and making us truly federated.
We are our own unique ecosystem. It’s fine as is.
Yeah it’s the convention in activity hub.
Oh awesome thanks!
I’ve done it twice. Easiest is using yunohost, second is using their docker container. Both require a bit of a sysafmin background for anything with more than 10 users, at least right now.
The times I did it, I went through their official documentation and their Docker files.
Sure to both! Just looking for more creators that are on here.
Use it everyday. I self host a number of fedi services. It’s a great os.
Most of the apps are great, but there are a couple that are no longer maintained.
Good combo.
That would be nice.
If you get a pihole or related project, you can see what packets are going in and out. It’s eye opening what is pulling what.
I crosspost with popular communities. For example !peertube@lemmy.world is an awesome place to find federated videos from across the fediverse ;)
Also become the change you want to see. Post comment ect… Its a community, have fun with others that enjoy the same stuff you do.
Also if you hang out in New, you eventually see things you like and then subscribe.
I like it. Its worked well for the last year or so.
I like the look of phanpy on my own little machine.
Oh neat! Thats kinda what im looking for.
Discoverability is one of the bigger issues. In YouTube there is a huge push to be more discoverable to the algorithm and to keep users on the platform. In peertube there’s no such pressure…for better or worse.
