Here is a comment I posted on one of the videos of @thelinuxexperiment@tilvids.com

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 - !thelinuxexperiment_channel@tilvids.com
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:
Subscribing to the user like a Community
Being pedantic for the sake of clarifying why this works when Lemmy doesn’t let you follow users: You’re subscribing to a PeerTube channel, and just like with YouTube, users can have multiple channels. PeerTube uses an ActivityPub group for channels, just as Lemmy uses them for communities.
Do I need a peertube account to search peertube, or can I use my Lemmy account? How do I access peertube if I just wanted to browse videos on there?
I don’t know how to search from lemmy but there’s a general search: https://joinpeertube.org/browse-content And you can search/browse each instance too
you need to know the channel name you want to subscribe to using this format:
channelname@instancename
example is gaycookie_studios@peertube.tv
(i just browsed a random channel in peertube)
looks like my instance doesn’t know this channel yet, but if i search it a few times or directly accessing this channel link, it will hopefully find it
It’s pretty cool obviously but until we can see peertube videos directly in our lemmy feed it’s just a fun gimmick. Copying the URL into a lemmy search box just so you can post a comment seems a bit cumbersome. Unless I’m misunderstanding this post
you can subscribe to the Peertube user just like a Community in Lemmy. here is the community page for thelinuxexperiment_channel
!thelinuxexperiment_channel@tilvids.com (EDIT: fixed link as suggested by helper bot)
I guess this will be updated once the user uploads new videos.
Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn’t work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: !thelinuxexperiment_channel@tilvids.com
It would be interesting to see app attempt to incorporate things like this. Probably none will since it’s bloat, but the possibility is interesting.
