This app makes no sense as someone who has no idea how peertube is supposed to work. I think peertube will never take off unfortunately because no one is gonna host quality instances. Videos are just too expensive.

Are content creators we already know expected to start their own servers? Or will there be a general mega instance for everyone to post to. Not to mention the fact no ones going to get paid for all of this effort except maybe the instance getting donations.

The app is the least of peertubes problems, I just think the entire concept is the most complicated and obtuse fediverse we have. Its hard enough for normal people to use Lemmy or Mastodon but PT is a whole different animal. Maybe PT should stop trying to be its own standalone service and integrate better with what we already have.

Maybe Lemmy and Mastodon could use PT as a backend for videos uploaded to their instance that could be found via a Lemmy community or tags via Mastodon.

@jaxiiruff it's all one fediverse, and it all communicates using activitypub. it's not standalone.

I think we all know that doesnt really matter at this point. As a Lemmy user I am only able to communicate with you if you post to one of our communities first. Even then I still dont even know how that works since I dont use mastodon.

On every level besides technical we are all seperated. What I proposed is that there needs to be a better way to integrate PT into all of our apps and instances in a way where we can all comment and engage while being able to discover and share videos as easily as possible. I still think using Lemmy communities is the best bet for this vs using some complicated approach.
