@ruawhitepaw Fwiw this doesn't seem to be a universal thing, I have channels showing up in my mastodon feed no problem.

Is it possible the channel you were looking at just isn't federated with your server yet? In which case it would appear blank until someone subscribes and a new video is posted.

@thegiddystitcher chitter.xyz/@janbeta@makertube (the channel) is shown to have 4 posts, but no posts are shown.

chitter.xyz/@jan_beta@makertub (the account/user) is shown to have 4 posts, and the posts are shown.

@ruawhitepaw His channel is blank when viewed from sunny.garden too, but the account only has one video showing. So yeah, looks like it's just the usual federation thing.

For example my channel at @thegiddystitcher@makertube.net shows up with lots of videos when viewed from sunny.garden, but if nobody on your server follows it it'll be empty from your pov.

@thegiddystitcher I'm following both profiles though, and have been for a few days. So they should both be equally federated right?

Michelle / The Giddy Stitcher

@ruawhitepaw Yep! So when a new video drops (last one looks like it was 6 days ago) you should see it in the channel profile too.

If new videos don't show up then there really is something wrong, but atm it looks like it might just be the usual confusing federation rules 😁

Oh! I saw a video last night and was confused on how to follow The Giddy Stitcher. I really hope that I just now figured out how! I got a bad grade in sewing back in 1971 and am only now feeling enough confidence to try a few arts and crafts and yarn and sew items. I liked what I watched!

@MossyQuartz If you have any trouble figuring it out do let me know! PeerTube stuff is a bit confusing even by usual Fediverse standards 😅

@thegiddystitcher

Thanks and I think it'll be interesting to look around in PeerTube. I made a couple of bookmarks, just to be sure to again find where I wandered into, and I found a link to unofficial guidance at

@ruawhitepaw @thegiddystitcher Hey Rua! Do you disable boots from accounts when you follow? Because I do it always, and noticed that the PeerTube user posts the actual videos on Mastodon from all their channels, but the channel only boosts the videos of that particular channel. If you disable boosts from the channel you follow you’ll see no videos from it. So, follow the user account or allow the boosts from the specific channel. I hope that solves your problem.

Michelle / The Giddy Stitcher

@dmian @ruawhitepaw Ooh good point I forgot disabling boosts is even a thing!

Dmian

@thegiddystitcher @ruawhitepaw Yes. I guess it’s done to generate less traffic. So the main user posts everything and the individual channels boost the appropriate posts. I scratched my head for days until I followed a channel, saw it had videos, but those disappeared when I disabled boosts. I don’t like boosts, and normally disable them for all accounts I follow.

Rua

@dmian No, I didn't disable boosts. Also, I think that wouldn't affect the links I posted to the profiles as viewed from my instance?
