Is PeerTube dead or is discoverability bad?
-
So it's more useful as a video player than a YouTube replacement?
-
yea that's basically what I did

lolita.rape
Deer god I hope that's a hypothetical example. Then I remember I live in the worst timeline, and lose hope that you're not just making that up.

I don't think .rape is a valid TLD, but as you say we're in the worst timeline.

I'm actually referring to both. Instance owners are afraid to allow users to host content and they're afraid to link to servers that host content.
-
So why run an instance in the first place then?
-
Well, it is used mainly to share videos so we don't have to send them or save them directly to file server. I'd say it has many of the features YT has, so I would say it is possible to replace YT with it, but the problem with videos - as opposed to images or text - is that they take fuckton of space.
-
Good question. My honest answer is 🧩.
I've seen it enough in the tech sphere to recognize it for what it is.

Yes and no.
By default anyone can follow your instance.
If you want your instance to follow others, you either have to type them in manually or use “auto-follow”, which needs to be enabled manually.

Yes, video is streamed directly from its home server. There is a an option to mirror videos, so that your server will work as a seed, helping with bandwidth.
Images on Lemmy is also loaded from its home server, but there is a cache.
