I'm not sure email even does anything though. It will depend if that instance even has SMTP set up.

It's crazy that every point in history has its own blend of "suckitude" that don't want to deal with.

hell yes! so happy to see this community as well.

well that does make sense for sites that need approvals like beehaw. However even my home instance after clicking signup the signup button just spun and never completed. The moment I switched browsers the instance accepted me immediately. It's likely a extension issue I believe so I will delete his post for now as it's probably not useful.

I have been using the freetube client for years to watch videos across multiple platforms. Maybe we could incorporate their method of having youtube be a first choice but allowing the user to pick other providers if they prefer?

I am aware of the other spelling. The "comradery" way agrees with my lazy American attitude a bit more. English is a strange language.

It's likely all this will change as the user base grows. However there are some distinct advantages.

1. Having instances focused purely on certain topics or ethics makes it so you can join the communities that align with your ideas. while all these communities federate having a home base that aligns with your ethics is important. Also if any particular instance becomes overly trollish there is the option that your instance can defederate from them. While this is not ideal having smaller instances with a more homogeneous community means that it will be easier to lobby for things like that than a monolithic service.
2. people at the moment are focused on building something that is community oriented and that people will want to use. Right now we have mods, power users, tech enthusiasts, and community leaders mostly. We don't have a ton of trolls yet. This will change but I think we can adapt to it.
3. There is a sense of comradery. People are dusting themselves off after the collapse of a former community of bolstering each other. This will wear off. however hopefully by then the service is robust enough that people will have found their new communities and groups that they jive with.

I doubt it I tried on FF multiple times then switched to brave and it worked instantly...

ugh what good is invite only? at least let people pay like 5 bucks to see it.

hmm maybe it's some extension I have installed... next time I will try an incognito window.

yeah I get that. I tend to be a fairly active poster and commenter. We just need a slightly higher ratio of posters/commenters to lerkers. Nothing wrong with lerking as long as there are people to keep things moving.

this is a great idea. They could code it that if someone does post a youtube link that it just fetches the peertube equivalent or gives the person the option of what platform they prefer to watch videos on in their settings.
