Don't worry if an account looks blank, they have all posted! A blank profile just means no one on your server has followed the account yet. Follow them so that your server will notice their videos! 👍 After you follow an account, anything they upload from then on will be visible from your server too. @FediFollows Thanks for telling us about the blank followers/videos. I added a bunch which look interesting and I thought I was doing something wrong. Now, where can we watch the vidbeo?! @book If you want to see older videos from before you were following, you'll need to go to the actual PeerTube page. In Tusky you can three dot menu > open in browser. On desktop its the three dots > open original page. If you want to leave a comment on one of the older videos you can search for its URL in Mastodon manually to force it to federate. @FediFollows I thought that was general advice. You're giving advice regarding the list you provided. For general advice, I'd suggest opening the profile on the original instance first, so that you can see what they do post and whether it is palatable to you. Then you can follow them.  @FediFollows is there a dedicated peer tube app for watching videos on iOS?  @Craktok @FediFollows No dedicated app, afaik. The easiest (laziest) way is to follow the channels from your Mastodon app and watch the videos using that. @dmian @FediFollows That’s a shame. I’d like a place to browse like the YouTube app. Thanks for the info. @FediFollows i’d really like to subscribe to channels on peertube; however, i tried the remote subscribe but nothing happened when i tapped the button  @amongmadpeeps  @amongmadpeeps Remote subscribe is a noop thing and does basically what human can do even faster... You take the URL/link to the user you wish to subscribe to and paste it in the search field of your Fediverse app (Mastodon, another Peertube, etc). People here report that many links that @FediFollows has sent don't show videos on their Mastodon instance. Use a PeerTube instance with federation support to reliably view contents. @amongmadpeeps Hmm it usually just opens a new tab, maybe you've blocked it from doing that somehow? You can always search for it manually on the Mastodon side as a workaround, there's a little "two squares" icon next to the channel / account handle on PT that makes it easy to copy & paste.  Fantastic compilation! Thank you! Now, I need some channels about books, fashion, films and Math. And channels in German and Spanish. @FediFollows But how can I know if I want to follow them if I can’t see their existing posts? Is that a peertube limitation or just how things are federated? @josh @FediFollows try "open in browser" to see their older posts @mycelium @josh @FediFollows @newpipe cool, so, after finding a gem like https://peertube.tv/w/4QTcvrDrQFi44XrkZyUaLi a local search made the video show up in the account view of @thenerdyneko on indieweb.social because a member, me, made the server aware of it. Nice. 👍 @josh  @josh @FediFollows you can always see thrir full profile in the web browser, if you go to their site. @josh To add on to the other reply, it's just how things are federated in general. If you view a Mastodon account that your server doesn't know about yet, that's also blank. Same with other kinds of Fediverse accounts too. To view full content you can hit the three dot menu and open in browser / open original page / whatever wording your app of choice is using. @FediFollows @kde_community @buddiesofbudgie @thelinuxcast @linuxuserspace@tilvids.com @soldergirl @qwazix @foss_north Thank you for the shout! You’re awesome ❤️  @FediFollows @jan_beta Jan pointed me to MakerTube, so you can find me there, too: @root42@makertube.net |
