For one thing, a PeerTube channel is 'attributedTo' the user account, in the same way that Lemmy communities are 'attributedTo' the moderators. A Group belongs to at least one Person, it can't belong to itself. Another is that it allows for creators to comment on videos, and either be recognised as the 'OP', or as a fellow content creator. \n\nIn terms of rendering things like Likes and Dislikes, it has the info in the backend, so it may as well. They don't Announce votes like Lemmy does, you have to activitely fetch them, so the channel as it exists on PeerTube provides a definitive source. Likewise, there's all sorts of reasons why comments get out of sync, so the channel provides an authoritative place where you should be able to see them all.\n\nThere is a friction though. I like the idea of a place that only open to people willing to create content, and isn't interested in signups from 'lurkers', but providing a mobile app doesn't seem compatible with that.","removed":false,"published":"2025-02-08T09:59:54.378765Z","deleted":false,"ap_id":"https://piefed.social/comment/4641189","local":false,"path":"0.14474536.14491443.14502007.14502380.14502855","distinguished":false,"language_id":37},"creator":{"id":7667263,"name":"andrew_s","display_name":"Andrew","avatar":"https://media.piefed.social/users/9I/t0/9It0HTbhGmstX2F.jpg","banned":false,"published":"2024-03-27T06:51:43.361838Z","actor_id":"https://piefed.social/u/andrew_s","bio":"aka freamon \r\n\r\nCodeberg: https://codeberg.org/freamon?tab=activity \r\n\r\nAnything from https://lemmon.website/ is me too.","local":false,"banner":"https://media.piefed.social/users/Mm/gt/MmgtnMz3B8iE34S_thumbnail.webp","deleted":false,"matrix_user_id":"@adslater:matrix.org","bot_account":false,"instance_id":4498},"post":{"id":17981673,"name":"Is PeerTube dead or is discoverability bad?","body":"I saw a few videos shared on PeerTube recently, and created an account on an instance.

I'll get in trouble for saying it, but I think that PeerTube is for video channels what Lemmy should be for communities. It should be that if you want to start or moderate a community, then you sign up to Lemmy, but if you just want to interact with one, you use a user account provided by software that's fully geared up around users (e.g. Mastodon).\n\nIgnoring for the moment that Lemmy's federation model hasn't been widely adopted, and that comments from Mastodon that appear in Lemmy often have annoying Hashtag / Mention spam, my fantasy version of a post in a Lemmy community would look something like https://tilvids.com/w/wjTD7fp9qy4KmTkBdSoWyc, which was created by a PeerTube user, but has been commented on and voted for by users from Mastodon, Sharkey, PieFed, other PeerTube instances, and MBIN. \n\nAmongst those subscribers, commenters, and voters should be Lemmy users, of course. In this thread, it feels like PeerTube is being criticised by people who want to use it in a way that it's not designed for, because they can't interact with it from their Lemmy account. If inter-op was better, there'd be no need to create a new account anywhere, and it would have a network effect - the channels that people are trying to discover would already have been brought in by other users, and findable through a conventional Lemmy search. Also, the votes and comments from Lemmy users that are currently going to whoever takes a PeerTube video and posts it in the likes of !videos@lemmy.world, would instead be going to original creator. This would also aid discovery (since people would be more likely to see the channel in 'all'), and might have also some incentivising influence on the creator.\n\nBasically, I blame Lemmy.","removed":false,"published":"2025-02-08T08:49:56.611664Z","deleted":false,"ap_id":"https://piefed.social/comment/4640665","local":false,"path":"0.14474536.14491443.14502007","distinguished":false,"language_id":37},"creator":{"id":7667263,"name":"andrew_s","display_name":"Andrew","avatar":"https://media.piefed.social/users/9I/t0/9It0HTbhGmstX2F.jpg","banned":false,"published":"2024-03-27T06:51:43.361838Z","actor_id":"https://piefed.social/u/andrew_s","bio":"aka freamon \r\n\r\nCodeberg: https://codeberg.org/freamon?tab=activity \r\n\r\nAnything from https://lemmon.website/ is me too.","local":false,"banner":"https://media.piefed.social/users/Mm/gt/MmgtnMz3B8iE34S_thumbnail.webp","deleted":false,"matrix_user_id":"@adslater:matrix.org","bot_account":false,"instance_id":4498},"post":{"id":17981673,"name":"Is PeerTube dead or is discoverability bad?","body":"I saw a few videos shared on PeerTube recently, and created an account on an instance.

Otherwise it just gets tedious, explaining why irrelevant things are irrelevant. User display names aren't relevant to an API's '/site' response; ActivityPub isn't relevant at all, and 'name' is such a generic, widely-used word, that reaching for it as evidence that I might be confused is such a stretch, I don't know why you'd go for it.

Instead, I gave command-line instructions for you to run yourself, so you could get the answers for those instances (and any other instances) from Lemmy's backend itself.

You've accepted your own unscientific prodding of one particular instance as an answer, and one link to a years-old migration as a answer, but I give you reproducible command-line instructions, which match up with your own findings, and it's apparently not good enough.\n\nAnyway, as that migration shows, Lemmy distinguishes between 'name' for username, and 'display_name' for the display name. A better link for this is arguably https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/blob/main/crates/db_schema/src/schema.rs#L735 but whatever. It's these fields that are relevant to Lemmy's API, not the terminology that ActivityPub uses. A client might reasonably want to know the limit for a username (as provided in the Site response), because it's this that's used for Signup and Login. Display name is set elsewhere, once that's done, so it doesn't make sense for `actor_name_max_length` to refer to this.\n\nWithin ActivityPub, the distinction between username and display name is 'preferredUsername' and 'name', but AP also uses 'name' for a bunch of other things (including but not limited to what becomes a post title, a choice in a poll, or the alt-text for an image). There's some overlap with how Lemmy's API refers to stuff (e.g. a post title is a post name), but it not a 1:1 match.\n\nI hope this is enough. I don't even use Lemmy, so - in my opinion - you're asking the wrong question to the wrong person. What you should be asking, is - \"How come when I post a question to Lemmy's support community, on the instance owned by Lemmy devs, it looks like they just ignore it?\". You shouldn't have to be relying on guesswork by amateurs, irrespective of how many 'references' they can quote.","removed":false,"published":"2025-02-04T08:54:44.038438Z","deleted":false,"ap_id":"https://piefed.social/comment/4579930","local":false,"path":"0.14369601.14373319.14376859.14399911.14404484","distinguished":false,"language_id":37},"creator":{"id":7667263,"name":"andrew_s","display_name":"Andrew","avatar":"https://media.piefed.social/users/9I/t0/9It0HTbhGmstX2F.jpg","banned":false,"published":"2024-03-27T06:51:43.361838Z","actor_id":"https://piefed.social/u/andrew_s","bio":"aka freamon \r\n\r\nCodeberg: https://codeberg.org/freamon?tab=activity \r\n\r\nAnything from https://lemmon.website/ is me too.","local":false,"banner":"https://media.piefed.social/users/Mm/gt/MmgtnMz3B8iE34S_thumbnail.webp","deleted":false,"matrix_user_id":"@adslater:matrix.org","bot_account":false,"instance_id":4498},"post":{"id":17793465,"name":"[SOLVED] What is the maximum username length for a Lemmy account?","body":"# Solution\n\nThe Lemmy server appears to have a database limit of 255 characters ^[2]^; however, individual instances appear to put their own limits on username length though the frontend ^[3]^ and/or the API ^[4.1][4.2]^.\n\n# Original Post\n\nIf you know, please also provide relevant documentation.\n\n**UPDATE (2025-02-02T06:06Z):** I did some brute-force testing, and, at least for sh.itjust.works, it seems that the maximum username length is 50, and the maximum password length is 60 ^[1]^.\n\n---\n\n::: spoiler References\n1. \"Sign Up\". sh.itjust.works.
