So we have decentralised versions or Twitter, Reddit and YouTube? What a great time this is.
You Should Know
YSK - for all the things that can make your life easier!
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must begin with YSK.
All posts must begin with YSK. If you're a Mastodon user, then include YSK after @youshouldknow. This is a community to share tips and tricks that will help you improve your life.
Rule 2- Your post body text must include the reason "Why" YSK:
**In your post's text body, you must include the reason "Why" YSK: It’s helpful for readability, and informs readers about the importance of the content. **
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding non-YSK posts.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-YSK posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
If you are a member, sympathizer or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
For further explanation, clarification and feedback about this rule, you may follow this link.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- The majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.
Unless included in our Whitelist for Bots, your bot will not be allowed to participate in this community. To have your bot whitelisted, please contact the moderators for a short review.
Rule 11- Posts must actually be true: Disiniformation, trolling, and being misleading will not be tolerated. Repeated or egregious attempts will earn you a ban. This also applies to filing reports: If you continually file false reports YOU WILL BE BANNED! We can see who reports what, and shenanigans will not be tolerated.
If you file a report, include what specific rule is being violated and how.

Our icon(masterpiece) was made by @clen15!
More than that too, there's also Bookwyrm (Goodreads), Pixelfed (Instagram) and others.
And Instagram. PixelFed's really good.
Oh, and Goodreads. BookWyrm doesn't get enough love.
There's also Mobilizon, a federated events calendar and groups platform.
And a whole bunch of other stuff, but, like PeerTube, they're somewhat content sparse at the moment.
It's pretty cool obviously but until we can see peertube videos directly in our lemmy feed it's just a fun gimmick. Copying the URL into a lemmy search box just so you can post a comment seems a bit cumbersome. Unless I'm misunderstanding this post
you can subscribe to the Peertube user just like a Community in Lemmy. here is the community page for thelinuxexperiment_channel
!thelinuxexperiment_channel@tilvids.com (EDIT: fixed link as suggested by helper bot)
I guess this will be updated once the user uploads new videos.
Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn't work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: !thelinuxexperiment_channel@tilvids.com
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.
It would be interesting to see app attempt to incorporate things like this. Probably none will since it's bloat, but the possibility is interesting.
It didn't work for me (I'm from lemmy.one instance)
i also noticed some channels are not reachable/seachable in lemmy. this could be federation issues or delay in caching content, but not entirely sure
pretty cool
Do I need a peertube account to search peertube, or can I use my Lemmy account? How do I access peertube if I just wanted to browse videos on there?
you need to know the channel name you want to subscribe to using this format:
channelname@instancename
example is gaycookie_studios@peertube.tv
(i just browsed a random channel in peertube)
looks like my instance doesn't know this channel yet, but if i search it a few times or directly accessing this channel link, it will hopefully find it
I don't know how to search from lemmy but there's a general search: https://joinpeertube.org/browse-content And you can search/browse each instance too
