Luanti Videos makes videos all about Luanti (formerly known as Minetest). It's basically a free open source alternative to Minecraft but far more flexible and designed for modding. You can follow at:
There are already 100 videos uploaded, if they haven't federated to your server yet you can browse them all at https://share.tube/a/nathansalapat/videos

I'd like to remind #YouTube creators that YT is making it inconvenient to watch your videos. This is just one example out of many. Introduced in early 2025, every video now has an #AI summary below the video so you don't have to watch the video anymore. For instance, this is one such summary.
This video explores the erosion of ownership in the digital age, focusing on the recent change in Kindle's policy that removes users' ability to back up their ebooks. The speaker argues that this change highlights the growing trend of corporations controlling access to digital media, potentially leading to a future where ownership is obsolete and access to information is heavily controlled.
If you care, at all, about your brand, move to video podcasts or #Peertube
People of #Europe!
We must fight with #American social media. Not only because there are from the #USA which is no longer a reliable ally, but also because they made SUCH a massive monopoly in this aspect. We must propagate our #European #Fediverse. Spread the word! Don’t use their tech! Use what is ours and secure. Don’t sell data across the Atlantic

my adventures in #selfhosting - day 89
Oh #PeerTube, you are making me do mental somersaults as I strategize about the best way to self-host my videos.
This newbie wants to ask: how many VPS’s are too many for someone who has little coding experience and has been self-hosting for just 3 months?
Fedi friends, I’m thinking of signing up for a THIRD VPS
Why?
My current setup:
5€/month Debian VPS with #YunoHost, where I’m self-hosting #GoToSocial (this account), #Friendica, #Pixelfed, #Fail2Ban and #LinkStack.
5€/month Ubuntu VPS where I am self-hosting my (upcoming) #Ghost blog (this will make me save a ton, compared to my current Ghost Pro plan).
Back to PeerTube: I could easily upgrade my #Debian VPS and install it there - the costs would be minimal and I would double my RAM and storage. But I am afraid of PeerTube’s consumption when it comes to bandwidth. As in: if I upload a video that for some reason becomes really popular, or if a bad actor decides to DDOS my channel, would that take down all my other self-hosted Fediverse instances? Since they are on the same VPS?
I could limit potential issues by having a dedicated VPS just for PeerTube.
What would you do?
And do you have recommendations for Europe-based VPS’s with affordable plans? (aside from Hostinger) I was thinking of #Hetzner…

Marco Pavanello / Wolf Studio make really cool CGI videos and animations with Blender. You can follow at:
There are already 23 videos uploaded, you can browse them all at https://makertube.net/a/marco/videos. You might particularly want to check out the short films "The Spark" (https://makertube.net/w/qPzyWiJPBhej8WfgYFPz2j) and "Pebble" (https://makertube.net/w/tihdkkgvmKHsxkr9QgJHYe).

@haslo hey!
yes there are hosting providers - I have no experience with any of them so couldn't recommend.
discovery is a combination of directory (owncast: https://directory.owncast.online/), search engine (peertube: https://sepiasearch.org/) and then diverse fediverse networked communities - one example is #fediwave at https://cal.gravitons.org/ (currently no streams), and simply following hashtags #owncast / #peertube or something specific on fedi: https://mastodon.social/tags/owncast
also, since peertube is geared towards communities, specific peerTube instances are creating circles of similar content:

Tässä Google Workspace -tilauksen lopettamisen kynnyksellä pitäisi päättää, että mitä videoalustaa aikoo käyttää. PeerTube houkuttelisi, mutta osaako joku suositella PeerTube-instanssia, joka olisi myös taloudellisesti vakaalla pohjalla? Bonusta, jos on suomalainen, mutta EU-alueella oleva riittää.
Peertube.wtf vaikuttaa verrattain suositulta. Onko muita hyviä suosituksia?
In the @newyorktimes:
"#ActivityPub has also led to a wave of start-up efforts such as #Mastodon, a microblogging service that now has more than 14 million accounts connected by a network of over 14,000 host computers, as well as start-ups like #Pixelfed and #PeerTube, distributed services that offer features similar to #Instagram and #YouTube."

Coreyartus is an artist doing calm friendly video livestreams as he creates his works. He also posts the streams as full-length recordings and as short timelapses.
There are already over 300 videos uploaded, if they haven't federated to your server yet you can browse them all at https://makertube.net/a/coreyartus/videos

So, when I follow a Peertube user from my Mastodon-account, and that user publishes a new video, but the video doesn't show up on my Mastodon feed, what's likely to be the cause of that?
It has worked fine for previous videos.
I wonder how much progress the #fediverse could have and grow in quality if the @EUCommission could seriously fund good non-profit projects that already make an interoperable web possible: @Mastodon , @pixelfed , @pleroma , @peertube , @gotosocial etc.
There are talks about BILLIONS of euros to rearm Europe, which seems justified to me. But it seems that no one puts on the table how to seriously address the problem of disinformation campaigns that undermine democracies. I found the EU project EU vs Disinfo https://euvsdisinfo.eu/, but they didn't dare to create at least a profile here.
Let's perpetuate the cycle of walled gardens run by cool tech bros and their profit seeking businesses. It is very comfortable.
Fediverse Sprechstunde!
am Donnerstag 27.03.2025, 19:30 Uhr!
ONLINE!
Bist du #neu oder #neuhier in der Welt des Fediverse? Kein Problem! Wir helfen dir bei den ersten Schritten: Profil einrichten, Sicherheitstipps, Posten und Vernetzung. Sei dabei!
Hauptthema: #Peertube mit @gunchleoc .
Ich freue mich darauf. Eine Aufzeichnung wird es nicht geben.
Eingeladen sind ebenso alle, die bereits Erfahrungen mit Mastodon, Friendica, Pixelfed, Misskey , Hubzilla oder anderen Anwendungen haben und ihr Wissen gerne weitergeben möchten.
Wissensaustausch: Deine Kenntnisse im Fediverse könnten anderen Teilnehmern sehr nützlich sein, besonders denjenigen, die noch neu in der Community sind.
Networking: Dies ist eine hervorragende Gelegenheit, sich mit anderen engagierten Mitgliedern der Gemeinschaft zu vernetzen und neue Kontakte zu knüpfen.
Ideen und Inspiration: Deine Perspektive als erfahrener Benutzer oder Betreiber einer Instanz kann dazu beitragen, innovative Ideen zu fördern und die Zukunft des Fediverse mitzugestalten.
Der Raum wird 10 Minuten vor Beginn geöffnet.
Der Link: kommt wird hier 1 Tag vor Beginn gepostet und steht in meinem Profil.
Das Online-Treffen findet auf unserem BigBlueButton-Server statt. Du benötigst keine zusätzliche Software, sondern nur einen Browser – vorzugsweise Firefox oder Chrome – ein Mikrofon (es handelt sich schließlich um eine Sprechstunde) und, wenn du möchtest, eine Webcam. Wir freuen uns auf einen lebhaften Austausch!
Der Ablauf der Sprechstunde sieht folgendermaßen aus: Zu Beginn geben wir Tipps und Hinweise für Anfänger und Einsteiger. Anschließend geht es um Ratschläge für Instanzbetreiber und Moderatoren. Ein solcher Austausch ist wichtig und notwendig für eine gute Vernetzung untereinander. Die Welt des Fediverse ist Größer und vielfältiger. Mehr Miteinander statt Gegeneinander.
Je mehr mitmachen, desto besser!

@peertube I love PeerTube's plugin system. Like so much about #PeerTube, it's slick, user-friendly, and technically impressive. The selection of plugins is great, too. Special shoutout to @John_Livingston's livechat plugin.
