Here is a comment I posted on one of the videos of @[email protected]

This is helpful as you don’t need to create a Peertube account if you want to engage in the video’s comment section.

EDIT: Subscribing to the user like a Community is better than searching the video. Try this link if works in your instance - [email protected]

So if I understand, your instance needs to “discover” the user then subscribe to it before it shows up in your feed

However, you need to search the video in Lemmy before you can post your comment. I’m not yet sure why but my lemmy username is not (yet?) recognized in Peertube page:

    Subscribing to the user like a Community

    Being pedantic for the sake of clarifying why this works when Lemmy doesn’t let you follow users: You’re subscribing to a PeerTube channel, and just like with YouTube, users can have multiple channels. PeerTube uses an ActivityPub group for channels, just as Lemmy uses them for communities.

      Meh, decentralized youtube alternatives have practically nothing interesting.

      Social media and forums, I can see them getting replaced. Social media and forums are about the people, powered by discussion amongst peers. Decentralized Social platforms will thrive if there’s enough people. A video platform? Videos take a lot more effort and only a small percentage of users are really “content creators”. These content creators typically want to get paid for so much effort they put in to the videos, so it’s really unlikely a decentralized platform can provide adequate compensation. Youtube ain’t going away anytime soon whether you like it or not.

      TLDR; Video Platforms =/= Social medias and Forums.
