YSK: You can post comments to Peertube videos as a Lemmy user - eviltoast

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

https://tilvids.com/w/h8BKcxxixYFE8RekmR5Ux3;threadId=29688

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:

    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

    !gaycookie_studios@peertube.tv
