They should financially support Heroic Launcher and add it to their website. Why invent something that already exists and is open source?

It should show the user an instance based on their IP, location, browser language etc. and perhaps the list of possible instances should be hardcoded.

Then also give the user the ability to see all servers.

My point about “niche” is that from the current perspective, the niche communities is the more regular ones, because at the moment, the majority of users here is technical. We need more ordinary users, not just more users.

I do feel we need more users, but not just users. It’s “niche” users we need. There’s a lot of techies on the threadiverse (Lemmy, PieFed, Mbin), but not enough people who care about other stuff.

So communities outside that, struggle to thrive.

I was lazy and just took the short version. It’s alright.

For the redirect from YouTube to PeerTube, it just uses the video title. This sometimes results in a “false positive”, but it does work.

You can try it with “The Linux Experiment”.

Because it’s a fan made mod, I have absolutely no problem with it.

I don’t really think so, no.

Edit: That it’s confusing

They should just setup a PieFed community somewhere.

True, but not every content creator lives on their YouTube ads revenue, if at all.

Also, there is nothing stopping them from posting their videos on multiple platforms.

Storage is what costs the most. Bandwidth not so much.

Not really. It’s quite easy with PeerTube. The most technical part is installing PeerTube.

It’s honestly what content creators should be doing, so that they are in complete control. But self-hosting also costs money in some way.

That’s because he’s very serious about this year being the year of the Linux desktop.

It’s more interesting to ask which 3 distros was tried 😁

Linux is niche, because every computer sold comes with Windows on it.

I use this at home and I’m thinking of setting this up at work, to prevent my colleagues from using shady PDF-sites, for merging or splitting PDF-files.

How does the license work for internal use at a company, by it employees?

Lemmy is literally a link aggregator. You link to stuff and then it can be discussed.

If you wanna create c/florida, go for it. Post news, politics, humor, facts, questions etc. related to Florida.

If you need inspiration, you can always look at that other place subreddit 😉

I think that’s a problem for everyone, but there is always something to fast. It’s not going to be every topic that interest you, but you can shift some of the time spent on YouTube to PeerTube instead. That’s a start. If no one isn’t watching anything on PeerTube, then the content surely won’t improve.

Check out the two pinned posts at !peertube@lemmy.wtf. It has a list of recommended instances and a list of channels.

I just wish .ml was more honest with their rules and policies, so people can actually make an informed decision, before they sign up there.
