How to use peertube (self.asklemmy)
submitted 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) by confuser to c/[email protected]
 

id like to make the comment section into a list of ways to use peertube. i know there is grayjay, going to the peertube instance website of your choice, and the peertube app which if i recall isnt completed yet but is expected to be done sometime soon but correct me if im wrong, im sure there are other apps people use for peertube but maybe not, i havent actually looked. As well as how does everyone interact with peertube? Is it mostly following specifically people or more like other fediverse platforms where you just make an account somewhere on a instance you deem worthy and check out the whole peertube userbase, I know each instance is like a whole YouTube website, does that mean that you have to search based on instances to find things or can you search like all vs local or whatever?

You can also follow a PT channel from Lemmy.

Neat. I didnt know but it makes sense I guess.

It's perhaps worth mentioning that - unlike Lemmy - PeerTube makes subscriber info public. I mean, it's no great secret that I've subbed to your channel at [email protected], but it's the kind of thing that some people care about.

Public to everyone? The channel owner can see who has subscribed. I think the same is the case on YouTube.

Don’t know about an API that perhaps can access that info.

Yeah (well, nerds anyway). With Lemmy, if you do curl --header 'accept: application/activity+json' --location https://lemmy.wtf/c/gametrailers/followers | jq . it tells you there's 68 but not who they are. With PeerTube you can do curl --header 'accept: application/activity+json' --location https://peertube.wtf/video-channels/startgametrailers/followers?page=1 | jq . and it provides names (including me and you and a bot from leaf.dance)
