      Dude peertube is so weird.

      I have an account on a different instance than tilvids. So I can’t like or subscribe to his channel?

        You absolutely can subscribe, comment, and like videos from his channel from your Tilvids instance, you just need to navigate to his channel within your own instance.

        I believe if you put his channel URL into Tilvid’s search box, the two instances should federate and his content should show up for you to interact with.

        I also found this video which shows how to subscribe to channels from other instances: https://tube.jeena.net/videos/watch/51a189cf-3372-4f97-9ff7-b5982dce4c9e

          I navigate to the channel on my own instance (from the peertube android app). But no subscribe button.

            It may not be possible to do in the app, as I believe that is not feature complete yet. You’ll likely have better luck from a regular browser.

        To be honest, I consume peertube via GrayJay. Back when I used mbin, it was also possible to subscribe to channels. Dunno why it wouldn’t be possible to subscribe via peertube.

        Maybe the instance owner @[email protected] can help out.

        It should depend on if they’re federated.

        Unfortunately, a lot of peertube instance owners are incredibly stupid and think that excluding others somehow makes their own instance more valuable/attractive.
