I posted a new #PeerTube video to my feed here on mastodon . art, and to my Facebook.
After 3hrs, this #Mastodon post has 20 stars and 14 boosts. And I posted it at 9AM locally, which is not a fast time (the coordinate release time was '1400 hrs GMT').
Meanwhile, the #Facebook post has 1 like (by me), 0 reacts, 0 shares, and 2 comments -- both by me.
Seems to me Mastodon is, of the two, the place to get seen! If you don't pay for promotion, the FB algorithm actively punishes external media.
Oh, yes. I saw it this morning. Here is a screenshot of your post on Facebook, seen from connecting with my account.
You can see that your link to the Peertube movie is hidden and require extra clicks to 'unhide' ....
For sure, it looks like an intentional "let shadowban this".
That one is my attempt to get more visibility by posting the "video poster" image and putting the PeerTube link in the 1st comment. I theorize that FB promotes on-site content like uploaded images over off-site links, like videos (unless they are uploaded videos hosted on FB).
I first tried posting the link directly -- to which I got no response whatsover for hours. Which I generally assume means almost no one saw it.
