I agree that 'link aggregator' is a horrible term that is only relevant to nerds and shouldn't be used in any general user facing way as a description. I think this is the sort of thing that is really a collective failure of the fediverse and open source / free culture projects in general is how out of reach all of our lingo is to anyone not already in the in-group.
super psyched by your work here, especially in getting Piefed support merged in. I think having client apps supporting multiple backend servers is one of the fediverse’ strongest directions and enabled a sort of resilience that no other social platforms have.
if you load a PeerTube video in Mastodon/Pleroma/Misskey etv and click 'like' from there the like federates back to PeerTube and shows up in the total like count. I just double checked this was true after seeing this post since I was worried the functionality might have broken. I am not sure if there is any other software that supports sending a dislike back to PeerTube tho. But there is no reason that any software couldn't enable that quite easily.
Wonderful! Posting from the new version now! I can confirm it's working
