Here is a comment I posted on one of the videos of @thelinuxexperiment@tilvids.com

This is helpful as you don’t need to create a Peertube account if you want to engage in the video’s comment section.
EDIT: Subscribing to the user like a Community is better than searching the video. Try this link if works in your instance - !thelinuxexperiment_channel@tilvids.com
So if I understand, your instance needs to “discover” the user then subscribe to it before it shows up in your feed
However, you need to search the video in Lemmy before you can post your comment. I’m not yet sure why but my lemmy username is not (yet?) recognized in Peertube page:
So we have decentralised versions or Twitter, Reddit and YouTube? What a great time this is.

On the other hand, more and more video creators on YouTube make the bulk of their money off of Patreon, rather than YouTube ads, and if it were possible to increase their Patreon subscriptions by posting to PeerTube as well as YouTube, interesting things could happen.
That would really surface the cost of video hosting, though
Most Podcasts live off of Patreon and no compensation from hosting services. And still they are out there. I don’t see the difference to videos. The only thing youtube has over peertube is visibility. But one can argue peertube in combination with some other fediverse service like Mastodon or Lemmy can fix this and give you more visibility for your videos.
Interesting, what are your thoughts on the ‘piped’ youtube front end that I’ve been seeing on here?

More than that too, there’s also Bookwyrm (Goodreads), Pixelfed (Instagram) and others.
And Instagram. PixelFed’s really good.
Oh, and Goodreads. BookWyrm doesn’t get enough love.
There’s also Mobilizon, a federated events calendar and groups platform.
And a whole bunch of other stuff, but, like PeerTube, they’re somewhat content sparse at the moment.
