idk how to have cross platform interactions.
Also, every peertube instance feeks very specific for my needs, am I supposed to just post the content on different instances? And even then what instance could I log in to? For example where would a viewer log in? I am not planning to only view content but still! Besides, does the instsnce I log in to could affect the communication speed with others? (I know they can like block eachother.) Anyways thanks a lot!
Apologies if I’m misunderstanding, but isn’t this true as also for Lemmy, Mastodon, and the Fediverse in general?
Not in the same way, no.
Most of the fediverse is open to all by default and the control admins have is to create a block list of instances they’d rather not federate with. With Peertube it doesn’t federate with anyone until admins on both sides add each other to an allowlist.
This is probably cause Videos use a lot of space. If suddenly there is a new instance and yours just starts downloading from there risks running out of storage or incriminating yourself by downloading illegal material.
I can see why they federate differently.
Now I understand, cheers. That’s a huge difference!
