What is peertube?
Theres many platforms to choose on peertube, does making account on one platform still works on other peertube platform? ELI5 the peertube
If you want to upload videos (you want to be a PeerTuber, he, he), just subscribe to one (any one is ok).
If you want to watch, vote and comment on videos, there’s no need to make an account. Give the channel a follow from a Mastodon account, and simply interact with the post on your feed.
Any upvote will be reflected in the PeerTube channel. And the same is true for the comments: comment in the Mastodon post for the video and you’ll see the comment in the video’s PeerTube page.
So, you can follow channels from different PeerTube instances without a problem from a single place (your Mastodon account).
I’ve never tried it, but I guess the same is true for a Lemmy account: subscribe, vote and comment will be reflected on the PeerTube channel.
lemmy, but the posts are all videos. You can subscribe here or on mastodon if you really wanted to, and you should be able to subscribe between instances if you make an account on a Peertube instance too.
You can subscribe to peertube from Lemmy? How does that work? Do you use a community like !channel@instance
Precisely, yep! It follows the same rules as subscribing to communities on Lemmy however - if you're the first on an instance to subscribe, it may not pull the full backlog of videos - and at least one person needs to be subscribed for the instance to continue getting updates from the channel.
Try heading to !thelinuxexperiment_channel@tilvids.com for example, and you'll see Nick's channel come up as a community and each video that they upload will be its own "post".
Note that when you lookup stuff on PeerTube, you have to use the channel name - not the uploader's username. So the one I linked would work, but if you replaced the start with
thelinuxexperimentit wouldn't work, since that is a user and not a channel.
