Pretty sure that's just bullet point 3 under notes. In a related thread somebody did point out that there's a bug that causes peertube channels to stop updating but this seems independent of Lemmy. As in if you are viewing from a peertube instance you will see the same bug.
Nope. Although I will say if you do have a Mastodon account, I find that experience a little nicer. Specifically the ability to put my channels into lists. Hoping to see a multi-reddit type grouping system on Lemmy in the future.
See FediFollow's recent post for more folks to subscribe to (not these links are mostly for users while on Lemmy you have to subscribe to the subchannels).
I'm talking mostly about the problem of content surfacing. SepiaSearch is absolutely an important part of that process. What I'm trying to point out is that we may have a fairly robust and ethical alternative to the Youtube algorithm in the networks of existing services.
I really don't see any reason the two can't simply work better in tandem. Video hosting is definitely a whole different beast technically and I don't mind the idea of having a fairly dedicated and experienced team in the form of framasoft. Particularly because Lemmy has it's own set of scaling issues that probably need to be worked on. That said I think that the problem of content discovery is also hard (maybe the hardest) and probably will turn into it's own set of services with some fairly sophisticated tooling but in the short term while that niche remains unfilled Lemmy and Mastodon seem like the natural choice.
As others have pointed out the clear option is PeerTube. The fascinating thing about PeerTube right now is that the frontend experience actually seems to be best on other services. This is primarily because discoverability between instances is fairly poor due to both federation mechanics and due to the nature of bootstrapping social. Because Lemmy and Mastodon feature their own human driven mechanisms for content discovery this problem is largely solved so long as you are browsing through another platform (the same mechanisms do not seem to transfer well to a youtube like frontend, although nobody has tried yet). Comments made on Lemmy and Mastodon will also federate back to PeerTube so you're not segregated based on what service you follow from.
All of the above are channels. On Lemmy you can only subscribe to channels while on Mastodon you can subscribe to both channels and users. This is important as some videos get federated under the channels and some under the users. I believe this is up to the individual creator.
Whitelist only is still fairly popular among PeerTube instances so you may not be able to access all creators from your Lemmy instance.
Federation does not backfill so if the channels appear blank don't panic. It will fill in with future videos.
If you follow these channels from Mastodon and then put them in a list you have a feed that is analogous to Youtube's subscribed page
GMail does not build an ad profile based on your emails. Let alone emails sent between two people outside of gmails network. This is absolutely a false equivalence.
look at what happened Threads.net. Big company joins the Fediverse and instead of celebrating, everybody starts thinking about defederating them. This approach is doomed to fail if it ever gets popular.
Let's not forget threads planned to monetize every interaction it was aware of, regardless of any direct interaction with Facebook/Meta. The public pushback probably went a long way towards setting a precedent against that sort of activity. We're really breaking new ground here and have a chance to take back what is increasingly an essential function of society from folks who would rather fill every waking moment of your life with ads.
In theory you should be able to run this using existing fediverse accounts similar to how the new db0 wiki lets you log in with your lemmy credentials. Obviously not quite what you're asking for but it is a step in that direction.
Long term I'm really looking to more explicitly modular services like Bonfire.
To contrast with the popular sentiment here, it seems to me like the missing piece in the peertube puzzle is actually creator coops as an organization. I think these probably look a little like some of the more creator based streaming services out right now (think dropout and nebula) but could just as easily be organized around things like influencer houses once there's a clear model to emulate.
A big part of this is the ranking algorithm. It doesn't scale based on the size of the community so the large meme communities pretty much exclusively rise to the top. There's a fix in the works I believe but I'm not sure where on the roadmap it is.
