Hi,

I want to take a little slice of the time I spend watching videos on Youtube and give that slice over to Peertube. I don’t mean all of it, given I watch far too much Youtube, but a slither which I hope to grow as Peertube hopefully matures.

As such I don’t want to have to make a Peertube account, I want to get Peertube videos straight into my Lemmy feed. To an extent I’ve already done this, but the videos are just links to the Peertube instance and aren’t embedded.

And the other issue is that the comments section is, well, a mess. Lemmy hardly syncs the comments and only does so for comments from other Lemmy instances and the videos Peertube instance.

The first issue feels relatively solvable, Peertube embeds. The second feels like something to do with how activity pub works and as such I have no idea.

I do feel that Peertube is a platform that needs the most support from other platforms in the form of integration, as it’s got a very uphill battle ahead of it, and it’s the first one I’ve noticed. but stronger integration between fediverse platforms on Lemmy would doubtless benefit not just those platform but Lemmy as well.

I thought I would post this and get peoples thoughts

    Tesseract has had PeerTube embed support for well over a year now. There’s nothing stopping other UIs from supporting them 🤷🏻‍♂️

    They work great when sharing a PeerTube link in Lemmy, but I’ve had issues where subscribing to a Peertube channel either doesn’t pull anything or only does an initial pull of a few videos. New posts don’t seem to come in. That’s some Lemmy to/from Peertube federation trouble. However, on the PT posts that do come in, i can upvote/downvote and comment on them.
