Yeah, but Lemmy instances don’t split bandwidth P2P. Imagine hosting a video on some cheap cloud instance that doesn’t have any kind of traffic sharing and putting some brand new game trailer up like Diablo 4, then someone links your video copy on something like Reddit. You’d get obliterated if all the video traffic was just coming from your server.
Peertube also uses ActivityPub, so theoretically, you can follow channels in Lemmy or Lemmy posts in PeerTube. Same with Mastodon. Not sure exactly how that works, though.
Kind of like how KBin also uses ActivityPub, so Lemmy users can use KBin magazines as if they were Lemmy communities.
Thanks! Peertube looks like the perfect foundation, at least for the current scale. You can post peertube urls in Mastodon or Lemmy and share the comment stream over the fediverse. We are in the earliest days right now, but it is on!
Ah so the P2P works via instances, not users. Interesting idea.
sounds like Lemmy.
