Do you want the furry porn ones or no

[–] 6mementomori 17 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I feel like peertube gets overlooked way too often. I love the idea and think it should be more used

[–] Kyyrypyy 26 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I want to like peertube, but the discoverability is terrible, and last I checked, it was pushing mostly cinspiracy theories. And every time I try to see around, it's just impossible to find an instance that would host interesting videos. Also, I find hopping around instances feels awkward.

Also, it seems to consist of "video dumps", resulting the instances having the "new" videos being hundreds of videos posted by just one user. It's just... not there for me, eben though I love the idea :/

re peertube discovery, i saw this the other day:

https://sepiasearch.org/

framasoft developed both peertube, and this… i assume to address that exact concern

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Tilvids.com and from there you can subscribe to anyone a cross the videoverse.

[–] [email protected] 23 points 1 year ago (1 children)

PeerTube is great if you like low-quality DVD rips and hour-long discussions on Linux.

At least, that's all I seem to ever find.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago

And sometimes that's exactly what I want, it definetly has its place

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 year ago

What PeerTube lacks is content creators. There is tilvids.com, but a lot of the content is just mirrored from YouTube and running a PeerTube instance can be expensive.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Eh... Having content like that made is difficult

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

I hope aggregators like greyjay will be able to incorporate peer tube recommendations into their app, that might help the platform be able to grow past things no one else will host.

RISA might be one of the best communities on lemmy

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

I'm not a trekkie, but I enjoy it.

Then again the opening theme of TNG was my lullaby as a kid so I was exposed through my parents.

[–] ChihuahuaOfDoom 5 points 1 year ago

I have heard it's communicable.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

It's great, but hardly underrated! It's been mentioned by the Lemmy devs and gets referenced all over Lemmy. Deservedly so.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

You're right, but startrek.website can never have enough love (unless it's the hug of death lol)

[–] [email protected] 22 points 1 year ago (1 children)

https://oulipo.social/ is a custom Mastodon that forbids that fifth alphanum symbol in its toots. That is, using a,b,c,d is ok and any of f,g,h up to z is also ok and also digits and punctuation but that’s all.

This post would pass its validation.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You mean "e" is forbidden in toots?

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yup, the software is patched to not allow e in usernames or posts (apart from in URLs). Expressing yourself without using any word involving e is a fun challenge, and often you think you succeeded until the validation tells you off.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

That's really interesting!

[–] [email protected] 17 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I like that bbc.social has a self-authenticating gTLD; a step up from a self-authenticating domain lol

Hexbear is so awesome, I can barely stand being there for more than 30 seconds.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 year ago

Don't use sarcasm, it confuses me.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

lol hexbears when called out on their excessive toxicity: here, have some more toxicity! that’ll show ‘em they’re wrong about us!

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago

Not sure if underrated, but i like https://metapixl.com/ and https://mathstodon.xyz

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I would say infosec.pub but it seems pretty popular.

[–] seaQueue 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

If you're using mastodon infosec.exchange is awesome as well. A significant chunk of the security folks I know ended up there.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I've never liked twitter/X or mastadon format content but having it all infosec might completely change my mind.

[–] seaQueue 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Yeah. I'm not a huge fan of the format but a lot of people seem to like it. Academia and infosec seem to do most of their posting there (twatter and clones) and I don't see that pattern changing right away if at all.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

I have accounts on most instances but https://lemdro.id works really good for me. Admin are active and they haven't defederated anyone yet.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

Instances really aren't going to be all that different if you're federated with the greater fediverse
