 That's nice. Thanks for letting me know, 3dCandy. I have some of my magician stuff on YouTube, but it might be time to move that onto a "better"[*] server. I've been looking for a good place to upload my magic & performance videos to, and #MakerTube might be the perfect place. [* Footnote: "Better" meaning better for my soul.] 6 comments
Thanks - I was not performing (or making videos) for reach and exposure. I'm not in it for the fame or to go viral. I'm not into magic that. Fact is, magic is my second job, and I already get as much or more work as I can handle as a magician. I just like bringing wonder and amazement to people that want more of that in their lives!  @ScottStarkey @caiocgo @yogthos not my point.... typically videos get zero views. There is no recommendations as such so you have to work at it. No ads either so that's good but if you are just doing it for fun you need to understand there is a good chance that nobody will see your work - at least for a few months till you get established. This is why I said to run it in conjunction Thanks for the advice and wisdom! I'd promote my PeerTube channel through my only-slightly-annoying Mastodon posts. Understand where I'm coming from, though: My posts on YouTube have less than 500 views TOTAL. Of all my videos. One typical video of me performing on stage had 27 views after 4 years at the other place. I may be a terrible marketer of my own talents. 🤣 @ScottStarkey @caiocgo @yogthos no worries - just that a lot of people don't understand that there is no recommendation or algorithms in play on #peertube. Nowt, nada. Thanks to your suggestion, I've just sent a request to #MakerTube for an account! |

@ScottStarkey @caiocgo @yogthos Hi Scott I can thoroughly recommend #makertube. Can even go Live on there if you so wish. However, and it is a big but, your reach and exposure will be tiny compared to youtube unless you plug it hard. I would setup an account, synchronise your youtube vids (takes a day or so) and then run them together before swapping in a bit. Any Q's then fire away. The alternative is to run a peertube instance yourself, though believe me that gets expensive real quick!
