    TIL you can subscribe and comment on PeerTube channels and videos from a Lemmy instance. Really a paradigm shift moment for me. One account to access an entire ecosystem of websites.

    Now, if only YouTube makes a huge fuck up that convinces creators off the platform…

      Yep, isn’t fediverse great! (Just for the possibilities alone… Even if one server crashes it’s not the entire ecosystem, and just because ppl can choose to associate differently with different clusters of instances doesn’t mean you have to complete remove yourself from the ecosystem if you disagree.)

      Wow this is interesting, would you be able to share an example link that works from this site?

      …Which sadly won’t happen any time soon as 99% of them wouldn’t shift away from the ad revenue model and the fediverse don’t offer a comparable alternative.

      YouTube standing between the creators and their communities is a big problem. They become the literal thought police that blackholes comments that hit the black box machine learned moderation AI wrong. Creators have no idea their viewers’ comments are being actively censored because these don’t even land on their review page.

        There’s a lot of channel that doesn’t have youtube ads but earn their money via sponsor and patreon. It’s definitely doable, but moving audience off platform is the problem.

        Not to mention they will have to handle the backend themselves or rely on someone that’s not paid to do it but merely on passion alone. I can see small time youtuber build an audience here but the million+ sub one will have some trouble.

    I was midway through writing a long-ass comment about turbocharger technology, but accidentally deleted it and I’ve lost steam already.

    Instead, here is a car which hisses when changing gears and goes “pst pst pst pst” when maintaining light throttle. And here is a one which is also super high performance, but does not hiss and burp.

    I am soooooo not techy but my fedi timeline is full of techy ppl, and I thought these might be fun to share:

    from this thread , Darius K (who developed the Hometown fork for Mastodon) shared this: https://wiby.me/. You can build your own search engine???

    In terms of hosting your own fedi instances, there’s mastohost and yunohost but these two news are interesting to me:

    https://calckey.social/notes/9h3u4tz7h7z8v378 - Chris T announcing Spacehost going to be in closed beta soon. Not just for Mastodon, and in fact they’re starting with support for Lemmy and Kbin. (Looking into this to pujuk my friends to try fedi via a Calckey instance)

    https://mastodon.social/@pixelfed/110703980980525426 - Pixelfed is kinda like an Instagram analogue and this is announcing shared hosting plans soon for Pixelfed instances. I’m super interested as well because Pixelfed has been really working on tiered access for post privacy (mutuals/followers/specific ppl) with post comment permissions or hybrid Allowlist mode. Also looking into trying to encourage friends to join if I have my own server…

    help a brother out… I created a lemm.ee account, but when i tried to login on monyet.cc I wasn’t able to? had to create a new one

    so this ‘room’ is not like ‘subreddit’?

      Ohh, you’re basically creating an account on one email provider but trying to login via another.

      The “community” is like “subreddit”, and “instance” is like “reddit”, but instead of simply walled up, it’s like reddit able to visit and comment on another reddit-lookalike, but still have to sign up on reddit itself.

        ah… no wonder, thanks for the clarification.

        so everytime i joint a new instance i need to create a new account right?

          you can search for communities on other instances, and interact with them from monyet.cc. so you don’t have to create an account on every instance you find interesting communities in.

          however, quite a number of people have backup accounts on another 1 or 2 instances (in case the main instance they’re using ever experiences some downtime), so if you want to do that, it’s fine.

          iirc, this guide by dcx used to have screenshots showing you exactly how to search, but I think they’ve been removed. it’s still recommended reading though.

          probably a good rule of thumb would be: search for communities like !fediverse@lemmy.ml on the communities page; for posts/comments (via direct url), use the search page.

          have fun exploring the fediverse!

            omgg thanks! i like how it covered how to turn on dark mode as well.

            the UI definitely takes a while to get used to, hopefully i’ll master it in a week’s time.

          you can use your lemm.ee to join any community from any instances . for example to join this community from there you put in https://lemm.ee/c/[email protected], and there’ll be a subscribe (at the top right usually). for another example, https://lemm.ee/c/[email protected] brings you to https://mander.xyz/c/archaeology by going through lemm.ee .

          once you have subscribed to enough communities, if you go to lemm.ee and change the tab from local to subscribed, it will populate the page with posts from all the communities you have subscribed to, just like the home tab in reddit, except the posts will be from various instances and servers. You can upvote and comment and post in those communities but still through your one lemm.ee account instead of many accounts in many instances.

    Well, since my phone has pretty good OCR, I’ve gone ahead and set up a Calckey account for me to mirror calls for mutual aid I see on IG and twt ☠️. DM me here or on that account (better that account for me to track) if you also spot any notices that I can help spread over on fedi-side.
