  • I developed a PeerTube-browser project. Or it would be more correct to say that it is an ongoing process. It is basically a tool for browsing PeerTube videos from all over the PeerTube network, and it displays the content in a familiar YouTube-like user interface with a bunch of features like searching, filtering by categories, tags, languages, and even a kind of a personal recommendation system.

    I consider myself a content creator and while I was discovering PeerTube for the first time, I encountered a fundamental discovery problem with it, and with the help of AI, I am trying to solve this problem with this PeerTube-browser project.

    I really like the idea of the Fediverse, and I really like creating stuff, including content and, recently, a software. So I’m kind of a person who is aware of those two sides of the river. I would really like to collaborate with someone, even more if it brings in some income. Anyway, I’m working on this project just for the sake of my personal interest.

    The web app is temporarily down, because I’m on the stage of fixing major issues. You can check out the source: https://github.com/denikryt/PeerTube-browser

    I have also developed a Discord Fediverse bridge application. In short, it is software that makes it possible to follow Lemmy communities and display their posts and comments in Discord forum channels. And it also works both ways. So you can create posts and comments in the remote community, as well as create a community that can be followed from other instances in the Fediverse. I’m writing from this bridge : ) Source: https://github.com/denikryt/discord-fediverse-bridge








  • Matrix could be a good option: it supports encryption, self-hosting, though do not support topics in a way that Discord does, in terms of UX. There is also a Discord-like platform called Stoat. It does not support forum-type channels but the UI and UX is very similar to Discord and it is also a self-hosted platform. However, I am not aware of security part of it, it is easy to check. Self-hosting is always a quite a challenge to maintain, no matter what platform you choose. Matrix, on the other hand, is designed around security very hard, so I definitely would trust my data and security more to this platform.





  • Yeah that could be a safety mechanism for that kind of discord users who split a single thought into single messages. The user experience across platforms is different, for sure. Discord is more conducive to this type of communication.

    I don’t see any reliable workarounds for this, except for just knowing where you write and how it works. Methods, like you suggested, would be pretty hard to implement and they are more like a workaround from people who don’t know how messages are displayed in Lemmy for example. Or simply don’t want to write long texts.

    I’m totally ok with writing longreads, I like it 🙂

    But I think it would make sense to add some sort of information about the Fediverse to the bridge registration page for example. So an uninformed user could learn first before actually starting to write. Thank you


  • Well, technically, it is possible to flood fedi instances with a huge amount of noisy content but it is always up to an instance admins whether to keep such data and continue federating with such instances. So as long as the bridge instance is not producing tons of unrelated content, it is ok for everyone, I believe. In the end, situations could be different.

    Also, motivating people to use this bridge is not a very easy task, by the way 🙂
