Does Friendica fit this need though? I don’t think Friendica groups is anywhere near Facebook groups.

Why not a Lemmy community or maybe wait for Pixelfed groups? @dansup@mastodon.social said that Pixelfed groups will be just like Facebook groups.

What about Withings from France?

Har desværre ikke abonnement til V2, men er det ikke samme delstat som tidligere nævnt?

Would be interesting if Liberapay could somehow be built into PeerTube. So you simply click the “Support” button and it asks how much and then another click. Done. The rest is handled by Liberapay, which have been set up earlier.

The official PeerTube app only shows a select few instances.

You should go to whatever PeerTube provider you have a user at and install it as a web app on your phone.

There’s these guys: https://peertube.wtf/c/theschumanshow@displayeurope.video

Never watched any of their videos though.

Do you host the instance at a provider? You could ask for another IP.

Is it possible that your servers IP might be blocked by YouTube? Can you import a single video from YouTube with the upload-function?

Channel synchronisation work fine on my server.

Awesome! Added to the list.

https://european-alternatives.eu/category/managed-dns-providers I just don't think they are free like Cloudflare.

You are thinking about channel membership, right? This is something that could also be implemented in PeerTube, either by Framasoft themselves (devs of PeerTube) or as a plugin by anyone.

You mentioned LTT. They have their own video platform. It would have been cool if they had actually used PeerTube and build upon that instead of creating yet another "walled" video platform.

PeerTube scales by increasing the amount of instances available. But you are pretty much correct. The two things that's expensive is: Storage and transcoding. The biggest expense is storage. It gets more and more expensive as videos is uploaded. Transcoding can become more expensive, if you have to keep up with new videos getting added all the time.

I would like to see individual content creators create their own PeerTube servers and thereby serving their content to the rest of the PeerTube servers and the Fediverse. I imagine a lot of content creators keep some kind of backup of their videos, so why not attach a PeerTube server to it? PeerTube allows you to keep the original file.

Regarding financial incentive, the "only" thing creators would miss out on, on Peertube is ad revenue. If we disregard the low amount of viewers on PeerTube compared to YouTube, a creator can still use sponsors, patreon, donations, affiliate links etc. on their videos.
