Welcome!

Can you imagine, years ago how the internet was before? We know Facebook, Twitter, Tiktok, Youtube. We knew blogger, Tumblr, Skyrock... and long before, it was the forum era as phpBB..and mail-lists.

And now with ActivityPub, we are reshaping the web, and achieving much with lots of freedom. So thank you all, and welcome ๐ŸคŸ๐Ÿ˜

Moving communities between instances (peertube.wtf)

When a community needs to move to another instance, it can be a rocky process.

It doesn't need to be, though - as long as someone on your instance has been a part of the community for a while your instance will already have quite a lot of the content from the old community. All we need to do is change our record of which instance the community belongs to and that's what PieFed's new 'Move community' feature does. Check out the video for a quick demo.

The full process is:

  1. Ensure the copy of the community on this instance has been active long enough to receive a decent amount of posts. The move process will not copy posts so having an account on this instance subscribed to it for a while is the only way to get old posts here.

  2. Lock the old community to by setting it to 'moderators only' so no one else can post in it.

  3. Create a post in the old community announcing the impending move to piefed.social. Paste the url of that post into the field below.

  4. Submit the 'move community' form (there is a link in the sidebar of every remote community) to send the request to piefed.social admins.

  5. piefed.social admins will review your request, turn this community into a local one and contact you.

  6. Update your announcement post in the old community to encourage people to join the new community at

Best is the enemy of the good, Youtube works for this case.

You can probably upload it to a Peertube instance, I guess @[email protected] wouldn't mind

Of course it works but isn't this community about the fediverse? I have the feeling that some of the fediverse services don't get used enough to be useable, like PeerTube. Another point is when we are already in the ecosystem of the fediverse with beeing on Lemmy why should we post media ment for the fediverse outside from it? Isn't the idea of fediverse to be an alternative to YouTube, Twitter, Reddit, Instagram and the others? Don't get me wrong here, my intention is not to criticize someone. I only thought it could be a good oppertunity to promote another fediverse service.

I don't want to force my ideas on people, I like to share and chat about them but I feel if I upload it myself I would kind of force the idea. Also it is his video I think he should be in control of where it is posted.

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Really, as someone who regularly gets "you should give an archive.org link as well" when I post paywalled content, I really appreciate when people do provide additional links so that I can add them to the OP. It feels more like we are collaborating.

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I get that point but I don't say "you should" but rather "you could". Also I think the example you give is a bit different because here we have someone (an individual) who took his time to create something which is different to other people sharing additional info.

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Rimu is already quite busy with the Piefed updates. He took the last resistance path to upload the video. If people want to promote Peertube in the process, they're free to reupload the content.

Seems counterproductive to me to expect one person to do all the work instead of collaborating

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I don't think we will find an aggreement.

  • It's his decision to post it or not
  • I will not post peoples contents on my account without their permission
  • I'm happy to collaborate
  • I don't expect one person to do all the work
  • I don't expect anyone to do any work
  • If he don't want to post on PeerTube then he dosn't need to

I don't want to escalate this discussion. It was just an idea of maybe putting it also on PeerTube without force, expectations or demands.

Seems like we have a different interpretation of your first comment.

Let's agree to disagree, have a good one!
