In case anyone missed it, my accounts are not automated! I'm an actual human being sitting here typing this 🙂

If you want any help with using Mastodon or the rest of the Fediverse, feel free to ask! To get in touch you can mention me or DM me or reply to any of my threads, whatever you find easiest.

This account is mainly meant to be about helping people directly rather than just doing mass audience posts. I'm especially keen to help new or non-technical people.

@nictakiego

Copy-paste the video's web address from the browser into your search box on Mastodon. This will make the video appear in your Mastodon timeline and you can comment by replying.

You can also subscribe by following the account and like the video by favouriting it. If you follow, the videos will start appearing in your Mastodon timeline and you won't need to copy-paste to comment on them.

@FediTips :O it works. But why there is no option to "open URL in mastodon", like..it should be done directly: Peertube share -> open on mastodon. Also I cannot dislike video from mastodon?

@nictakiego

There are thousands of Mastodon servers and people may have accounts on multiple different servers, so PeerTube doesn't know exactly where on Mastodon you want to open it. Such an option would require you to type the name of your Mastodon server, so it would still be a bit fiddly. But this is how Mastodon share add-ons work on websites, so this feature could be added, good suggestion!

You can't dislike from Mastodon because Mastodon has no interface for sending negative votes.

@FediTips Aight, thank you :) Hopefully this feature will appear on peertube app, as for now it is pretty inconvenient.
