This is helpful as you don’t need to create a Peertube account if you want to engage in the video’s comment section.
EDIT: Subscribing to the user like a Community is better than searching the video. Try this link if works in your instance - [email protected]
So if I understand, your instance needs to “discover” the user then subscribe to it before it shows up in your feed
However, you need to search the video in Lemmy before you can post your comment. I’m not yet sure why but my lemmy username is not (yet?) recognized in Peertube page:
Interesting, what are your thoughts on the ‘piped’ youtube front end that I’ve been seeing on here?
That is still Youtube. Google can take down videos they don’t like. The point of decentralization is to spread power so that no single entity can censor anything. (Although, collectively, they can still stop unwanted content, such as hate speech, but not something that one instance admin can do. People can always repost to another instance.) Using a front-end to access Youtube doesn’t not change the fact that Google is still in control. I mean, I could use Firefox + uBlock Origin + a VPN to browse Youtube and achieve the same thing as whatever front-end you use.
