YSK - for all the things that can make your life easier!

The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:

Rules (interactive)


Rule 1- All posts must begin with YSK.

All posts must begin with YSK. If you're a Mastodon user, then include YSK after @youshouldknow. This is a community to share tips and tricks that will help you improve your life.



Rule 2- Your post body text must include the reason "Why" YSK:

**In your post's text body, you must include the reason "Why" YSK: It’s helpful for readability, and informs readers about the importance of the content. **



Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.

Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.



Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.

That's it.



Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.



Rule 6- Regarding non-YSK posts.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-YSK posts using the [META] tag on your post title.



Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.

If you harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

If you are a member, sympathizer or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.

For further explanation, clarification and feedback about this rule, you may follow this link.



Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.



Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.

Let everyone have their own content.



Rule 10- The majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

Unless included in our Whitelist for Bots, your bot will not be allowed to participate in this community. To have your bot whitelisted, please contact the moderators for a short review.

I was waiting until I saw something show up in my feed to verify and I just saw it.

Peertube is the fediverse version of youtube. Different peertube instances can connect together so people can view videos from all over the Internet from the one user interface.

I was running some testing figuring out what I could federate with, and I found that if I plug the URL from a peertube channel into my lemmy search, it shows up like a community. Then I can follow it and new videos will show up in my lemmy feed. (I expect the same would work in kbin)

So for example, the minetest videos channel is at https://share.tube/c/minetestvideos/videos -- Just plug this URL into search, and suddenly minetestvideos is a community you're following on lemmy or kbin, and new videos will show up in your feed and you can watch them and comment on them right from here!

It's a really great example of how ActivityPub support lets you connect things you'd never expect to be able to connect. Imagine if on reddit you could just subscribe to a youtube channel!

I'm assuming that in these "communities" only the channel upload can submit content to them?

[–] SJ_Zero@lemmy.fbxl.net 1 points 1 year ago

I assume so. I'll have to run some tests on a peertube channel on my own instance.

[–] jakwithoutac@feddit.uk 2 points 1 year ago

Thank you so much for pointing this out! I suppose it should be obvious really but my fediverse training continues

[–] JoeKrogan@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

That's cool , Thanks for sharing

[–] Ignacio@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago (2 children)

It works on Kbin. Just put this into search: minetestvideos@share.tube

I love how Ernest is the owner of every single external account/community. I'll miss that lil' bug once it's fixed.

[–] techno156@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

and every single domain for self posts is your local kbin instance. It's a little silly, but rather fun in its own way.

[–] WytchStar@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

That took me a bit to figure out- me being the suspicious type and new to fedi, I needed to investigate. So a bug prompted me to learn something about how this place functions.

[–] Kierunkowy74@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It does not work on /kbin ATM.
Example: https://kbin.social/m/thelinuxexperiment_channel@tilvids.com shows nothing even when originating instance shows 20+ videos published on the channel.

[–] SJ_Zero@lemmy.fbxl.net 2 points 1 year ago

Tilvids doesn't federate like other peertube instances, which can be an issue. I don't know how federation with mastodon and Lemmy are, but peertube doesn't federate with it. (If tilvids does federate with Lemmy that'd be amazing because there's some great content but I'm not going to specifically visit the site... I'm going to give that a shot!)

Another thing is that most of the time federation starts with the time you subscribe for the first time on an instance. The peertube channel I subscribed to has 3 videos on my Lemmy instance but hundreds on the parent instance. This is normal behavior for activitypub. It's unusual the way Lemmy (and presumably kbin) pull the history of communities the way they do. I suspect there's something going on to achieve that which may not happen with every kind of community.

[–] BaroqueInMind@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

Does anyone have any good recommendations of channels that have good historical, factual analysis, or documentary content? Not really interested in super professional production either.

[–] Kierunkowy74@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

PeerTube compatibility does not work yet on /kbin, but is planned.

[–] hyorvenn@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Do you know why it only shows the last video though (at least atm) ? I don't understand why it cannot show all content posted on a channel

[–] techno156@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

that's unexpected. I was under the impression that Peertube didn't use ActivityPub, so while it can Federate with other Peertube-like sites, sites running Lemmy would be out of the question.

[–] autumn@reddthat.com 1 points 1 year ago

Works on lemmy. Thanks!

Just tested it and it also works with mastodon and pixelfed, but I don't see any posts. I'm wondering if it just takes time to cache.

[–] pinkolik@random-hero.com 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Sounds crazy and interesting. Although, isn't it better to have separate things for separate type of content (videos, toots, posts) instead of mixing it all together?

[–] SJ_Zero@lemmy.fbxl.net 2 points 1 year ago

I run all the different services because I generally agree with you, but there's value in being able to choose how to interact with everything. some people really want to have new videos show up in their lemmy feed or their mastodon feed. If that's how they want to do it, they're right. Same with interacting with lemmy from mastodon -- If that's what you want to do, then you're right and it's a win for you if you can do it that way.

Consistently made over 20,000 USD in income from home with the benefit of smooth playback and sticky online interest. |F330″ I actually made 18,000 USD with this perfect home income. Everyone can now without a doubt.....https://iplogger.com/2UFuy5.ico
