Peertube has RSS. I hope this pushes folks to Peertube. I personally recommend and love TILVids. You can set up an account on TILVIDs and even follow folks on other instances. Or spin up your own Peertube if you're brave enough, I could never figure it out but I plan on trying again some day. :D aNot that I want the alt-right stuff, but if they go on their own server everywhere else just DeFederates them and I never have to see it.
But yeah, LBRY was all in on the Crypto BS. Honestly kind of hoping this is just the tip of the iceberg for the crypto companies playing in the arena.
you can follow them with your Mastodon account, as well. and even with your Lemmy account, as far as I can tell.
I personally like Peertube but strongly dislike TILVids. They use Peertube but disable the federation bit. If it is the case that you can follow folks on other instances, it is even more unfair, because they block me from subscribing to content on their platform. Well, it isn't worse than some other video platforms, but it's certainly only taking, not sharing like we're used on the fediverse. I'd use another instance and i recommend everyone else to do so, too. (...As long as this is an alternative. Feel free to use TILVids, it's certainly better than Odysee or YouTube!)
I actually talked to the admin of TILVids about this. And he realizes the double standard, you can still access things from RSS, but he's worked hard to get YT content creators to come over and the biggest concern those folks had was protecting their content. So he did turn off Federation to assuage those fears. He does push folks to spin up their own instances when they get big enough and even helps them with that if needed. He doesn't want TILVids to be a silo either. I definitely understand the feeling and even had to think through that as well.
