I am not an expert.

You could post to different instances. I think most just pick one.

You can log into the ones where you have am account. Single-Sign-On (google it if you don’t know the term)is something still missing sadly.

A viewer could log into any instance that is connected with your instance to view your videos.

Your instance is a server and yes if it is a slow server, videos from that instance will take more time to download. Not sure whether foreign videos are first loaded to the instance (unlikely) or just pulled from your browser (likely).

Do you have any concrete mini pc in mind? Most I can find are considerably more expensive than the pi.

I think for now the easiest solution would be a browser extension “TakeMeHome” that automatically redirects you when you enter a foreign server that is federated with your home server. Should be pretty easy to implement.

Oh, I agree. I meant SSO in the second sense: that there are external Identity Providers that you can use to create an account at different servers hosting different kind of fediverse experiences - be it Lemmy, PeerTube, Mastodon or … I understand the issue you are describing first, but I haven’t had that problem yet. Sounds like it could be fixed with a simple redirect - but I guess it is not so easy to figure out whether you need a redirect in the first place.

Cheers! Would be cool to see SSO happening as it would simplify joining multiple fediverse instances (PeerTube, Pixelfed, …).

Definitely helps! Regarding the call offer: I might come back to it once I have a pretty good outline for the presentation to double check/clarify the information I’ve found.

This explanation on how images and videos are embedded while text messages are copied is really helpful!

Thanks. That worked.

Is this a real follow or is this just a redirect? It redirects me to my profile.

But this is a peertube limitation, right? Activity Pub itself provides the video information and peertube - due to whatever reasons (most likely the economical reasons you mention) - decides to not use that information / reject “the mail”. Is a message sent is only stored on the receiving end or also on the node I am sending it from?

Good response! You were right. I thought that it would work similarly to SSO i.e. your instance works as an identity provider and your content is then generated on the other page, not send there.

Alright, so following the mail metaphor: lemmy is unable to send a video attachment so it can’t allow you to upload videos to peertube; however, activity pub could allow for that.

I think I have to read up on the exact definition of “group”.

Maybe I should create a new post for this but has there ever been discussions regarding SSO? So you have one identity across all fediverse services?
