Hi,

I want to take a little slice of the time I spend watching videos on Youtube and give that slice over to Peertube. I don’t mean all of it, given I watch far too much Youtube, but a slither which I hope to grow as Peertube hopefully matures.

As such I don’t want to have to make a Peertube account, I want to get Peertube videos straight into my Lemmy feed. To an extent I’ve already done this, but the videos are just links to the Peertube instance and aren’t embedded.

And the other issue is that the comments section is, well, a mess. Lemmy hardly syncs the comments and only does so for comments from other Lemmy instances and the videos Peertube instance.

The first issue feels relatively solvable, Peertube embeds. The second feels like something to do with how activity pub works and as such I have no idea.

I do feel that Peertube is a platform that needs the most support from other platforms in the form of integration, as it’s got a very uphill battle ahead of it, and it’s the first one I’ve noticed. but stronger integration between fediverse platforms on Lemmy would doubtless benefit not just those platform but Lemmy as well.

I thought I would post this and get peoples thoughts

    I’ve ended up moving to Friendica as my primary Fedi account because I can get Lemmy communities, RSS and Pixelfed, Mastodon and other ActivityFed accounts all from the one account.

    I still drip into Lemmy directly ( Like now ) because I haven’t added all my subscribed communities… and actually I haven’t added any Perrtune ones yet. I gotta find some to watch.

    What I would love is if Fedilab or other held a buffer of recent posts from Frendica on my phone for when I’m stuck on a plane.
