I understand why, but I also have examples of compromises;
Just some thoughts.
Just subscribe to any PeerTube channel like you would a remote community, search for the channel/community URL and there you go.
IMO the interface is much better on Lemmy and the whole thing is more aligned with the Fedi mindset, one account subscribing to anything.
This isn't as much a reply to you as it is to everybody:
The fediverse isn't meant to be centralized with big instances bearing the brunt of the load.
It costs less than 5€ a month for a cheap VPS, as you say it's pretty easy to set up (If you can reformat a computer, you have the skills to set up a plethora of federated platform). That includes 200GB storage and 32TB of outbound traffic, and one could even set up a home "CDN" PeerTube to share the load.
I don't want big creators making clickbaity content just to make money. I don't want the fediverse to be commersialized. I want enthusiasts and those willing to make an effort to be more free.
For some that means setting up their own systems. For some that merely means making a Mastodon account (big step for some people, believe it or not).
It takes some effort, it takes some learning. It might even mean that people won't get disgustingly rich. But we can make a new internet.
Let's not being the old ways there.
I've always thought of PeerTube as a content delivery platform ala Plume for blogging. Consuming cross-platform content works much better from Lemmy, Friendica or Mastodon-type platforms.
PeerTube channels looks beautiful in Lemmy and once a user pulls a channel it shows up as a regular community
Crowdsourcing is nice but I'm not happy about the "don't mark temporary hindrances" thing in OSM, some of them last for months and I can't warn others. Sometimes I even forget the hindrance myself and feel real ~~unsmart~~ dumb.
Sorry to hear you did not get the option to become a vassal state and a US military base like so many others. It did give us a few good years at the cost of corrupting our societies and souls.
Big daddy if you're watching I'm only joking, I love you with all my heart and bow at your magnificence!
Because Firefox aren't for people who want to access about:config anymore. Have you heard about their new social network, focus on that and forget all the things you used to love about Firefox.
One of 'em are cool, the other a straight up fascist. Such is the the world.
Stuff like this and the growing inability to opt-out of AI and "Smart functions" is why I consider migrating away from NC both on my self hosted and VPS Nextcloud.
Sure, I use PT "a lot" (compared to the average lemming it seems). Sometimes there's a small wait. I think it's worth it. I've never experienced it not working at all, though I can understand if people think something isn't working if it's not as fast as the #1 video content platform in the world - YouTube.
