Time for a Ghost community?

Wrong community.

If the government want to help bring down the benefits bill and improve productivity then they need to invest heavily in mental health. Reduce the waiting time for assessment, make it easier to keep your prescription renewed and think about making some of the standard drugs in this country to improve supply.

Yeah, it has to be frictionless or you lose people along the way.

Let me know if I can post the link. I don’t want to self promote of that’s not what folks are looking for here.

Go for it.

However, federation with PeerTube is currently broken.

The fix has been made, hopefully it'll make it through to the next release.

Although, looking around, this channel has a "support" button with PayPal and Patreon links. It's a little crude but works.

For ease of use, it probably has to be a bit slicker and "one-click" but it's a start.

And content? I've only just started using it properly recently (here) but was happy to see a channel putting out trailers:

• https://trailers.ddigest.com/c/digital_digest_trailers

I was wondering about jailbreaking trailers from YouTube but, apparently, the studios own the copyright. I don't think they care about YouTube channels uploading them because it is extra publicity but it is a legally gray area.

without ad revenue or subscription revenue I don’t know how quality content can come to PeerTube.

I saw a video where a YouTube channel broke down their income (I'll try and find it but there are probably similar ones out there) and the amount coming directly from ads was quite small. Other sources of money include:

• Sponsorship
• YouTube's built in subscription
• External subscriptions like Patreon
• Merchandise
• Physical media deals

Like Spotify, the cut from streaming isn't great but those on it can leverage their profile in other ways.

The Fediverse still has a bit of a problem with monetisation but Ghost is working on joining and that is the equivalent of Substack with different subscription levels and I think most Fediverse services could do something similar. So Peertube could build in a "subscribe" button so people who enjoy your content could sign up to throw you a buck a month. Obviously a similar system could be added to the instance so you could donate to them, as hosting video is expensive.

I do wonder if we need a FediPay/PayFed service that other services could just plug in, so you'd have a central account across your Fediverse identities - subscribing on Pixelfed could get you subscriber exclusive Peertube content.

Brilliant - thanks for sorting that.

By the looks of it, Dansup is doing attributedTo similar to how PeerTube does it, but doesn’t wrap it in an array which is annoying. Hopefully he changes that.

Perhaps we can tag him in here, get all the issues cleared up. @dansup@mastodon.social @dansup@lemmy.world @dansup@lemmy.ml

Welcome to The Weaselverse.

Cheers.

Following your advice I finally kicked off a side project on Infosec and it has been going well.

Pity the Lemmy/Peertube connection is broken, but it should be fixable. 🤞

Orrrrr Friendica.

Good find. At least you kniw where the issue is.

As Pixelfed is going to fully implement groups, it seems like an interesting time.

Huh, I’d never heard of the Indieweb

Thanks for checking. Seems like a "them" problem.

This is beyond my remit, so I'm tagging @flamingos@feddit.uk.

Next version is 0.19.10.

A joint investigation by the U.K. publications The Observer and The Citizens, published in 2023, revealed that Right to Life U.K. increased its Facebook advertising budget more than ten times from 2020 to 2023.

And this is why we need as many people as possible off the Big Web as it is a primary way for these groups (and others with various reactionary agendas) to radicalise people.

Please don't.
