One question, does LBRY (The protocol powering Odysee) count as something Federated ?

[–] rumba@lemmy.zip 3 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

There was a github request to integrate lbry into fedi, but it never gained any traction.

So, no, they're not in the fediverse and don't interconnect with the other players.

Here are the current places that play well together.

Odysee had a shot at making it bigger than it was, but it's really drowning in bad (moral and qualty) content. They never really recovered from their crypto scheme, once the SEC started looking into them, they got screwed. I'm down with the idea of paying creators in crypto, but they were selling it as a security.

I wish them the best of luck. Back when they were well funded, they had a hard time staying up without servers. I hope they sort it out.

Does Odysee even use LBRY anymore? They abandoned the desktop app a while ago and I'm not sure how else you can use the protocol

(if so, then assuming everything is on Odysee then it's about as federated as Bluesky)

Well....... LBRY is hosting a fundraiser to revive & strengthen the project. Including setting up nodes for Charity purposes like for Public Domain stuff
