The Fediverse has its own video platform called @peertube.

You can follow PeerTube accounts from Mastodon, for example try following @craftykat

You can watch and interact with the videos entirely within Mastodon, or on PeerTube itself.

Here's an example of a PeerTube server:

➡️ fedi.video

If you see an account you like, you can copy and paste its account address into Mastodon to follow it there. When new videos are published, they will appear in your Mastodon timeline.

@feditips @peertube @craftykat how deep does this little rabbit hole go?! Is there a list, somewhere, for the new folk that outlines all the apps associated with #Mastodon - it there is and you could point me there, I’d be very thankful. This place just keeps getting better!

Yes. And if you are hoping to post a lot of video you should totally use Peertube instead of Mastodon.

Hosting video is really expensive for the host and hard on the servers.

Peertube shares the bandwidth between the people watching in a peer to peer bit-torrent-ish way. Making the server resources needed quite a lot lower.

I started my own Peertube instance separately to my Mastodon instance because of that.

It's a massive cost-saving for hosting video, and the savings are bigger the more popular it is.

@feditips what does this mean for the other way around? How does Peertube handle the replys from our timelines? Are Mastodon videos viewable through peertube? Is there a way to link a mastodon account to a peertube account?

@feditips we need that copy box on every activitypub based service. It is so handy.

@feditips @peertube @craftykat Arriving new here at #mastodon, reading a lot about #decentWeb actually working and at work... makes me happy, "Mr Sink" may have inadvertedly "boosted" the decentralised Web, fingers crossed

@feditips @peertube @craftykat thanks for this post. I’d been hearing the term but been too lazy (or maybe too busy if I’m being an optimist) to look it up.

@JPEGuin For some reason, tapping on the peertube and craftykats links in this toot don’t do anything in Mammoth.

@feditips @peertube @craftykat Could anyone share an example of a video you can watch "entirely in Mastodon"? Does it appear embedded in a post? Can it be played without any sort of registration on PeerTube?

I need to establish on this! I've got all of our long COVID town halls on YouTube but this is a better idea.
