Pretty much in the title. Maybe you wouldn’t even use it, but would like to simply see it exist for the sake of having a federated alternative. For me, it’d be the following: - LinkedIn - Meetup - Tiktok I am on the first two, but would prefer a federated alternative. I’m not on Tiktok, but would like to see a federated alternative. I’ll admit these might not be a good idea. But as a thought experiment, I’d be curious about the community weigh in on what you all think this might look like.

    For youtube there is peertube. A big instance it TilVids. It integrates very well with Mastodon!

    It supports videos and live streaming, and uses webtorrent (bittorrent over webrtc) to reduce the bandwidth costs of the server.

      I always thought of it as one of those alternative youtube-frontends. awesome if it continues to grow and gain larger creators.

      Is there any way to be able to search in all peertube instances at once in the search bar like in Lemmy, rather than having to access each instance separately?

      I had a group of my friends debating me saying federated YouTube would never work. They said it’d be too much server space to ever be feasible without being centralized by someone as big as Alphabet, yet here it is lol
