Is there any community (besides the .ml communities) that talk about Peertube? (lemmy.world)

So I feel like I'm doing peertube wrong. I'm trying to find good content, but it feels like every single instance I find is just "here's the linux news, here's the new linux tips, here's the linux gossip, linux linux linux!"

And I do not give a shit about linux. I learned long ago that I'm not smart enough to figure it out. I just want to find the non-tech, non-video game content. I don't know what I'm doing. I want to search all the instances, all at once, and see what the system recommends.

I don't have a peertube account. I have a piefed account. I'm not against getting a peertube account, but at this point, it's ruining the whole point of the fediverse. If I need to register for a peertube account to have a decent experience, what's the point in having all these services be interconnected. Registering for peertube account would be the THIRD account I would have for the fediverse. But at this point, I just want to find the content.

Doesn't look like it. There doesn't seem to be much of anything about discovering compatible things on other fediverse platforms (e.g. MBIN magazines, a.gup.pe groups, pixelfed groups [if they even exist], PeerTube channels, discourse / hubzilla whatevers, Flipboard thingies, etc).

For PeerTube, a good discovery tool is https://fedi.video, but that also involves tootling around on some other instance and copy/pasting handles back to your own platform, so it's not exactly that convenient.

I don't even know what some of those are!

A.gup.pe

No clue what that is. But the rest of the message just shows how much work EVERYTHING needs. It shouldn't take specialized knowledge, to achieve only a fractured and disjointed experience with that being the best there is.

It's one thing to say youtube sucks, and corporate control sucks......but if you're going to compete with it, I'm fine with the federated seperate instances.....but the platform still has to work!

a.gup.pe is a 3rd-party effort to wrangle individual Mastodon posts into Groups, so that Group-based fediverse platforms can follow them (a more familiar term for Group is 'community').

Example: https://piefed.social/c/[email protected]

You're saying that piefed community is an example of a.gup.pe and all content in that community is all pulled from different mastadon posts?

I feel like I'm wrong, but thats how I'm reading what you said.

Yeah - those individual Mastodon posts were tagged with @[email protected] by their authors, and a.gup.pe picked up in the tag and made it part of the Group so PieFed could display it in a community.

For example: an original post was https://mastodon.social/@zhhz/113068522102706157 and how it appears on PieFed is https://piefed.social/post/225229

So, you tag it with @photography, but how does piefed know it's targeted?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago

a.gup.pe tells us - they Announce the post the same way that [email protected] Announced this post. I'm subscribed to both [email protected] and [email protected], so get content from both in the same way.
