Fresh updates just arrived to https://fediverse.info

Huge shoutout to @elena for that incredible explainer video - it perfectly captures why we're building a better, people focused social web for everyone 🌟

Share it far and wide! The fediverse needs more voices like ours.

I like the video, great work @elena

but about the the interoperation - there is a big #pixelfed bug @dansup - which really should be fixed.

Please have at least a look for the bug report what do you think about it.

@elena - is this video available on peertube?
I would love to add it to https://punx.social but would prefer if it's not on YT

@pixelfed I found it @elena https://videos.elenarossini.com/w/64VuNCccZNrP4u9MfgbhkN

this should be used, not the youtube video on the fediverse.info page

@joergi @pixelfed @elena That would put the costs of hosting/bandwidth on her, rather than YouTube.

This is geared towards newcomers, I used the privacy friendly YT embed option, this is the best compromise IMO

@elena regarding the post from @dansup - if we want to use the video too on our https://punx.social (an introduction to the fediverse to the punk scene...) is it okay to use your peertube one? or is it okay to host it ourself on peertube.net? (or do you mind uploading it yourself there?)

@joergi

Maybe you could mirror the video? It has a CC license of attribution / non-commercial / share alike so feel free to use it however you wish. Thanks for asking 😊

Oh and if you’re less ideologically opposed to Vimeo, it’s on there too (and on Vimeo ppl can switch audio tracks for different languages). Thanks 🙏

@elena @joergi @elminuto @jan @pixelfed Hi, I updated it to include a link to the PeerTube video, or with your permission I can switch to use the PeerTube embed directly?

@dansup thanks for asking Dan! Pinging @jwildeboer who generously uploaded it on his MakerTube account. Could we use « your copy » Jan, so that my little VPS won’t be affected?

Or else Dan feel free to upload a copy on your own PeerTube.

Since that VPS also hosts my Pixelfed, GoToSocial, NextCloud and Friendica, I’d rather spare extra traffic if possible 😅

@elena
Thx, maybe @elminuto will upload it to punktube.net soon, then we will use that one for our punx.social Website. Update will follow, I will let you know, thx a lot.
