Here is a comment I posted on one of the videos of @thelinuxexperiment@tilvids.com

This is helpful as you don’t need to create a Peertube account if you want to engage in the video’s comment section.
EDIT: Subscribing to the user like a Community is better than searching the video. Try this link if works in your instance - !thelinuxexperiment_channel@tilvids.com
So if I understand, your instance needs to “discover” the user then subscribe to it before it shows up in your feed
However, you need to search the video in Lemmy before you can post your comment. I’m not yet sure why but my lemmy username is not (yet?) recognized in Peertube page:
So we have decentralised versions or Twitter, Reddit and YouTube? What a great time this is.
Meh, decentralized youtube alternatives have practically nothing interesting.
Social media and forums, I can see them getting replaced. Social media and forums are about the people, powered by discussion amongst peers. Decentralized Social platforms will thrive if there’s enough people. A video platform? Videos take a lot more effort and only a small percentage of users are really “content creators”. These content creators typically want to get paid for so much effort they put in to the videos, so it’s really unlikely a decentralized platform can provide adequate compensation. Youtube ain’t going away anytime soon whether you like it or not.
TLDR; Video Platforms =/= Social medias and Forums.
Most Podcasts live off of Patreon and no compensation from hosting services. And still they are out there. I don’t see the difference to videos. The only thing youtube has over peertube is visibility. But one can argue peertube in combination with some other fediverse service like Mastodon or Lemmy can fix this and give you more visibility for your videos.
