  • Mobile App, redesign, new dev, promotion build a bright future for PeerTube
    PeerTube is a decentralized and federated alternative to YouTube. The goal of PeerTube is not to replace YouTube but to offer a viable alternative using the strength of ActivityPub and P2P protocols. Being built on ActivityPub means PeerTube is able to be part of a bigger social network, the Fediverse (the Federated Universe). On the other hand, P2P technologies help PeerTube to solve the issue of money, inbound... - Source: Hacker News / 5 months ago
  • Youtube ad block on pc (ublock origin)
    If you're looking for YouTube alternatives, you might be interested in PeerTube. PeerTube is to YouTube what Mastodon is to Twitter. (Plus PeerTube and Mastodon use the same federation technology. You can follow PeerTube accounts from inside Mastodon and vice versa.). Source: 5 months ago
  • My video streaming wishlist for the next 3 to 5 years
    Hey!

  • PeerTube v6 is out, and powered by your ideas !

  • PeerTube v6 is out, and powered by your ideas
    > YouTube (and other mainstream providers) solves user stories. The user story is "I want to find and watch interesting videos" and they nail it. You miss another user story: IT department wants to self host a video distributing platform on their intranet and users need to embed video in intranet CMS (blogs, wikis, etc.) and they will watch those videos at home, at the office and in between places. Thinking... - Source: Hacker News / 5 months ago

  • YouTube's Anti-Adblock and uBlock Origin
    > Why don't you or someone else try starting one? https://joinpeertube.org/ There are several instances, but that is not the solution to what the parent comment is pointing out. Videos are being published on YouTube because of network effect; it has become the defacto platform. - Source: Hacker News / 6 months ago
  • Piped – An alternative privacy-friendly YouTube front end
    There already is an alternative to youtube. Peertube https://joinpeertube.org/ The problem is most content creators are only publishing on YouTube, so that is where you have to go. If you are a content creator please publish on peertube so we have options. If you know a creator, likewise encourage them to publish there. - Source: Hacker News / 6 months ago
  • FreeTube – The Private YouTube Client
    If people don’t want to pay for YouTube, then why not use peertube[0]? I don’t understand the arguments here. If you don’t want ads, then pay for Premium. It’s fantastic that an option exists to solve the problem! If you don’t like the price, then don’t pay for it. Somehow people have got it in their minds that YouTube owes them content for free. That’s a great mindset to make the shift to peertube and away from... - Source: Hacker News / 6 months ago
  • Solarpunk "pod / cell" system
    Local servers (dietpi, Freedombox, YUNoHost or similar solutions) which can be used to host different solarpunk content and setup instances on the fediverse (like peertube, mastodon, Lemmy etc.). Source: 7 months ago

    I learned a lot from the ngx-admin template but if you want a real world project PeerTube's Web app written in Angular you can check it out here. Source: 8 months ago
  • Lemmy/Fediverse Terms Explained
    Fediverse, or 'federated universe' is the name given to the social media platforms that utilize this concept of federation and decentralization. While Lemmy and Mastodon are the most popular right now, there are many similar platforms. There is Peertube for example, which is a Youtube alternative, or Pixelfed, which is an instagram alternative. You can view a list of all such platforms on this site. Here's also a...

  • Popeye the Sailor Meets Ali Baba's Forty Thieves (1937)
    Definitely a good fediverse example: https://joinpeertube.org/. You can even do live streaming now. - Source: Hacker News / 10 months ago
  • Can't seem to upload .mp4 properly
    GIFs are an (animated) image format. If its a small video you might be able to convert it into a reasonable sized GIF (via something like https://giphy.com/create/gifmaker). Otherwise linking to an external site will be your best option. Peertube exists for Fediverse video sharing, though you can always share on a silo like Youtube too. Source: 11 months ago
  • 6 hour long "The Entire History of Video Games" video demonetized by YouTube with no logical reason
    There are technical solutions to lessen the load on servers. For example, PeerTube uses a peer-to-peer broadcasting system. When watching a video, your browser tries to download it from other people who are watching it, instead of just the website's server. Source: 11 months ago
  • Where are we all moving to in a couple weeks when corporate greed kills Reddit?
    There is also Peertube for videos and Pixelfed for images. Source: 11 months ago
  • My experience after 16 months on the Fediverse
    The Fediverse has many different types of platforms, including video hosting on Peertube or Friendica which is similar to Facebook. Mastodon got the most publicity, but it only uses a fraction of the possibilities that ActivityPub offers. Source: 12 months ago
  • YouTube has been quietly demonetizing people's ENTIRE channels, including OG YouTubers who've been making videos for over a decade. No clear reason given to creators.
    Band together and either find or an alternative or make one! Peertube is an existing platform that's opensource. There are no secret algorithms, no major decision makers you'll have to fight,... it's completely in their hands. They could band together to pay for features like a donation plugin (aka no need for a patreon) just like Humble Bundle where donators can decide how much of the donation goes to the people...
