Peertube integration with Lemmy

Hi,

I want to take a little slice of the time I spend watching videos on Youtube and give that slice over to Peertube. I don’t mean all of it, given I watch far too much Youtube, but a slither which I hope to grow as Peertube hopefully matures.

As such I don’t want to have to make a Peertube account, I want to get Peertube videos straight into my Lemmy feed. To an extent I’ve already done this, but the videos are just links to the Peertube instance and aren’t embedded.

And the other issue is that the comments section is, well, a mess. Lemmy hardly syncs the comments and only does so for comments from other Lemmy instances and the videos Peertube instance.

The first issue feels relatively solvable, Peertube embeds. The second feels like something to do with how activity pub works and as such I have no idea.

I do feel that Peertube is a platform that needs the most support from other platforms in the form of integration, as it’s got a very uphill battle ahead of it, and it’s the first one I’ve noticed. but stronger integration between fediverse platforms on Lemmy would doubtless benefit not just those platform but Lemmy as well.

I thought I would post this and get peoples thoughts

I’ve ended up moving to Friendica as my primary Fedi account because I can get Lemmy communities, RSS and Pixelfed, Mastodon and other ActivityFed accounts all from the one account.

I still drip into Lemmy directly ( Like now ) because I haven’t added all my subscribed communities… and actually I haven’t added any Perrtune ones yet. I gotta find some to watch.

What I would love is if Fedilab or other held a buffer of recent posts from Frendica on my phone for when I’m stuck on a plane.

Can you suggest a android app for that?

At the moment Im using Fedilab . since its easy to switch between Friendica and Mastodon and Pixelfed accounts. But I also dip into Jerboa and often use the Friendica web interface.

You have encouraged me to download a Peertube client. … Honestly I love that you can float between clients / interfaces depending on what you want to do.

Come join us at framacolibri.org/c/peertube/38 and possibly check what already exists, e.g. www.npmjs.com/search?q=peertube-plugin-

I’m not sure I fully understand what you need but I know the forums are quite dynamic.

@fireshell @Agosagror thanks I just downloaded this thanks to this comment! The peertube plugin works and its cool to see all these video sources mixed together. Sadly the comments on peertube look pretty mangled
