    Honestly, I just want instances that focus on niche interests. An instance for sports with communities of different leagues, instances for pc gaming with communities for amd/intel/Nvidia, etc

    That way, main instances with more generic context like lemmy.ml or beehaw dont get clogged

      A really vibrant YouTube alternative. I’d love to never use a Google service like that again.

        I’ve never used peertube, but I heard it’s getting pretty good.

        However, after considering hosting a peertube instance, I can see what a large actor such as Google can bring to the table for resource intensive services, such as video hosting

          100% I don’t know how (if) a federated system could really handle the volume of data that YouTube does.

        Peertube does the job to share videos, if you don’t plan to monetize, and just upload content for 10 friends, it might be the place to go

          I’m a rabid (addicted) watcher so while Peertube definitely works it just doesn’t have the same amount of content on all random niches. Very cool project though.

      Whilst not directly intended for gaming, my instance is targeted specifically for technology, of which PC Gaming would definitely come under!

      You’re more than welcome to join and create communities for AMD, Nvidia, Intel etc. if you so wish!

      We already have [email protected] and [email protected] communities.

      But you’re welcome to make more specific communities if you so wish!

    Tik Tok,

    Not just the online social-video sharing but the possibility to reuse sounds and the embedded filters making editing easy

      Not my cup of tea personally but that’d definitely be better for the creators and likely better for the customers too!

      I think peertube has a livestreaming option. But, i don’t think a lot of streamers would jump to it because lack of monetization options.

        Would ads go against the fediverse principles? There could also be a federated ad network. Where you can choose what kinds of ads you want on your instance and thus content could be monetized.

            As I read in another post, the current revenue models (for devs and hosters) are donations and Patreon.

            I kinda like the idea to have an open ad network, with privacy intact of course. I might think about it a little and set up a open source concept for it and post it here to get contributions.

              Personally I wouldn’t have a major problem with unobtrusive simple banner ads that are not at all personalised like what we had 15+ years ago, though I really prefer to just not see ads at all nowadays.

                Yeah I’m thinking of something where the system showing the ad can give tags/keywords and corresponding ads show. Each instance can decide on whitelist/blacklist basis what kind of ads they want to send out (e.g. specific advertisers, sfw/nsfw, banner/text/video).

                So you would subscribe to a specific instance of the ad service and get only ads they deem ok, including ads from other instances. So you can publish to all instances but the instances decide what they give out/show.

                Edit: Typo & sentence structure

                Also, if one platform instance, eg. Lemmy.ml decides to not show any ads but lemmy.world does that would be fine too.

                I think the most difficult part to figure out, would be the payment system. Is there anything that’s privacy friendly? PayPal is not, not sure about stripe, don’t know others except ones that only work in my country.
