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.

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.

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

Yep 🐕

In fact dogs in many ways are better than people for friendship. If only they lived longer. We get blessed by their presence only for so long.

Have you thought of perhaps hosting your own? If you are concerned about it.

Yunohost has a pretty easy install of peertube. It works pretty well and you can even make videos private for your own family uses if need arises. Gl!

Makertube is a good one. It has a lot of family friendly content as well.

My wife and I are enjoying the series so far. Hope this episode is a good one!

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.

Modern day php and laravel is actually not terrible.

But yeah I agree with you.

I’ve done more than 18 years of dev work. I only hate js. All the other parts of the job are fine. Other languages are fine as well. I’ve had to learn so many. Hell I know cobol right along side ruby.

Js sucks. It sucks to debug. Its frameworks still have issues with basic stuff like many to many relationships.

All the solutions that don’t use or use it sparingly work for years. The ones that rely on the language usually die a firey death by npm/yarn or get deprecated within 6 months.

The best time to get a job is when you already have one. Interview like you don’t need it… because you don’t.

Throwing your resume out a couple times a year helps you find out who and what is hiring in your sector.

A real hack I actually have is whenever I have a bad day at my current job, I apply for a job.

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.

One of us, one of us…
