Would it be great to post videos in peertube with lemmy/mastodon accounts

It is possible and practical to post in lemmy using mastodon accounts
would it be great to post in peertube using lemmy/mastodon accounts It might be possible because of activitypub but i’m doubting if it is practical as the servers would outrun from resourceses Crossposted to: https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/9949103 !asklemmy@lemmy.world

    Video hosting is a very expensive process and peertube does a lot more stuff to video files compared to Lemmy/mastodon

    I’m not sure if this would be feasible for development or peertube hosts but idk, it would be a neat idea though

    Unpopular opinion, but video support is one of the largest hurdles to broader fediverse adoption. Every significant social media platform (including messaging) supports video and animated images. It’s become part of the basic functionality.

    I know that there are big technical challenges of storage and delivery, but until it’s solved there will be a low ceiling on the fediverse.

    It’s an explicit goal of ActivityPub, but mastodon implemented its own bespoke API instead of the ActivityPub Client to Server (C2S) API. Apps got developed for mastodon using its API and other services implemented the masto API instead of C2S to get app support.

    And anytime you bring up C2S to current projects, they brush it off. So it seems like the grand idea of the fediverse is way far off and not likely to happen soon.

      Agree, C2S seems so cool, a shame nobody implemented it, at least I don’t know any software that did
