The Linux Experiment Channel (From Nick) is on Peertube, and it federates right into Lemmy as a community

Really, how awesome is that?

We could also show some support being active there from our Lemmy accounts!

I also like how Newpipe can open that link.
- How did you clone the app?
I highly recommend subscribing to his Patreon page since peertube gives him no monetization avenues understandably.
I quite like his podcast he does for Patreon members every week. Just a short life/channel update series.
- He has no Liberapay?
  
  From his video description:
  Liberapay: https://liberapay.com/TheLinuxExperiment/
Now this is what I am talking about! Just get lemmy/kbin/etc to support embedded video from peertube at least and we are getting closer to the decentralized everything app!
- I love how musk is trying to make X the everything app all on his centralized network, and here we are building a decentralized everything network with dozens of open platforms and good 3rd party clients outpacing whatever musk is trying to cook.
  
  Free market at work, imo, Musk can cry all he wants about advertisements, but here we are supported entirely by donations
- Other integration point, but I'm less sure. Syncing peertube accounts with other instances, so my subscriptions can follow me and my comment/threads can too!
  
  Also, the comments don't seem to be syncing correctly between the peertube video and the community post. Peertube apparently supports using accounts from other fediverse instances, but it failed for this account I am using now.
Done :)

- is this community the Peertube channel? through Newpipe i can see peertube comments (even lemmy accounts!) but on that community i see none. also the lammy client might be an issue..?
  i'm really exited about this, now i'll be able to correct people wrong on the internet like i can't do on youtube videos!!
  
  I have heard that it might be an issue with Peertube's federation implementation, in that its not properly pushing externally.
- Neat, it almost works in sync but it just shows an empty community with an "error loading page" toast
To follow through Mastodon/Calckey/Firefish/etc, search for this in your instance:
@thelinuxexperiment_channel@tilvids.com
I wish the Freetube app supported Peertube feeds.
- I'm happy that NewPipe does
- yes! i can follow on android with Newpipe but on desktop have to use browser bookmarks
What. That's crazy!
Unfortunately, comments, and votes don't appear to be federating from Peertube. I've opened some issues (LemmyNet/Lemmy#4314, LemmyNet/Lemmy#3837, LemmyNet/lemmy-ui#2161) for this in the past, and, from what I've heard, it may be an issue with Peertube's federation implementation.
Doesn't seem to work right on kbin, unfortunately, although it does show up as a magazine: https://kbin.social/m/thelinuxexperimentchannel@tilvids.com
- Did you try to search in Kbin? In Lemmy we have to search the community in order to federate
  
  Yeah; I also tried subbing in case that kicks off federation and searched a few titles to see if they ended up in random incorrectly as well (stuff like that happens sometimes with kbin). The magazine has seen a few microblogs mentioning the channel, and it clearly picked up the avatar/icon, description, etc. somehow, but doesn't seem to be getting any videos as threads/posts and I couldn't find any floating around disconnected either. I think kbin most likely doesn't understand what PeerTube is publishing through AP, but there could always be federation weirdness or something.

I didn't know that, this is super cool!

It doesn't work on lemmy.zip
- Maybe this peertube instance blocked lemmy.zip?
  
  they likely blanket banned/filtered the .zip tld due to the rather large security problems it brings. I had the same problem with my instance initially before I explicitly whitelisted lemmy.zip
- Why would you say such thing? Nick is a great person.
  
  Hahaha, there's a video where he says this. I guess most people here don't know about it. I think Nick shared it on mastodon, but I'm not sure now.
