It doesn’t matter if there’s an email server or not.
I am not logging in with the credentials “[email protected]”. I am telling Voyager that I want to log into “Lemmy.wtf” with my user “Meldrik”. Before I type a password, the app will check if “Lemmy.wtf” exists and maybe even check if there is in fact a user named “Meldrik”. If all are true, then it will ask for password.
Something like that. I don’t know how Voyager works 😁
You would only be able to login this way with your username. If you by mistake use your email, then it simply doesn’t resolve to a Lemmy server and the login fails.
[email protected] would simply fail, because that Lemmy instance does not exist.
Really cool work.
Exactly.
Some instance names can be a bit tricky to type, like sh.itjust.works, so an autocomplete would be a huge help.
People shouldn’t even have to choose their instance. People should type their full username.
Fx: [email protected] should be enough and then their password.
Is t it a community effort though and does it not pull in info from other BookWyrm instances?
At least you have done something nice for the next one, looking for those books 😁
Awesome work, @[email protected]!
Will be updating my server asap. And hopefully Lemmy will get a new release soon and fix federation between Lemmy and PeerTube.
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.
It uses P2P when multiple users is watching the same video. A PeerTube server can also mirror another PeerTube server's videos and function as a peer.
You can see it this screenshot, that I've downloaded most of the video data from other peers.
PeerTube is build on ActivityPub, just like Lemmy. Right now federation is broken between Lemmy and PeerTube. When it's fixed, you'll be able to subscribe to PeerTube channels from here and comment as well.
Take a look at the pinned post at [email protected] and also check out PeerTube.wtf/home for a list as well.
There’s plenty of channels to follow, but obviously not the same amount of content like on YouTube.
It’s true you can login with your email, instead of your username. But what I am saying is, in Voyager, it should only ask for your username+instance ([email protected]).
If I by mistake type my email: [email protected] it will obviously fail, right? Because there’s no Lemmy server at that domain.
You already validate Lemmy servers in Voyager, right? So if “[email protected]” doesn’t match a Lemmy server, an error would show.
