I'm thinking about the concept of activitypub interoperability lately. So far, the majority of development in activitypub has been around microblog services, and there hasn't been an issue with how these integrate with each other on a basic level. But as it gets spun out into more diverse services with different modes of interaction, like Kbin and Peertube, how these services might operate with each other becomes less obvious. If I follow a Peertube channel account, or a castopod account on Calckey for example, should the video be embedded in my timeline, maybe a direct link to the native peertube page?

I'm not a developer though, so I've got no idea what is possible in this area, or what is beyond the scope of the project.

@Ampersand Not sure about Castopod, but Calckey directly embeds Peertube videos

@kainoa I've seen that the videos are embedded if the link directly to the video itself is posted, but if you go, for example, to https://calckey.social/@[email protected], all the text content of a video post is displayed, but the video itself is not. That's more of what I'm looking at.

At least, that's how it's functioning for me. #calckey

I'm Nick, and I like to tinker with Linux stuff. I'll bumble through distro reviews, tutorials, and general helpful tidbits and impressions on Linux desktop environments, applications, and news. You might see a bit of Linux gaming here and there, and some more personal opinion pieces, but in the end, it's more or less all about Linux and FOSS !

@Ampersand That's moreso an issue with Peertube not attaching media or a link normally. I can look into trying to fetch it from their custom data type, but they really should be attaching it normally as a fallback

@kainoa Of course, it's up to you to decide if that's within the scope of things you want to do with the service, or if we should politely ask Peertube developers to alter their implementation. #calckey

@Ampersand @kainoa I believe following a peertube channel does work.

But I noticed that if the video description contains too many links the video won't be embedded because the link to the video is the very last one in the post....
