    lemmy, but the posts are all videos. You can subscribe here or on mastodon if you really wanted to, and you should be able to subscribe between instances if you make an account on a Peertube instance too.

      You can subscribe to peertube from Lemmy? How does that work? Do you use a community like !channel@instance

        Precisely, yep! It follows the same rules as subscribing to communities on Lemmy however - if you’re the first on an instance to subscribe, it may not pull the full backlog of videos - and at least one person needs to be subscribed for the instance to continue getting updates from the channel.

        Try heading to !thelinuxexperiment_channel@tilvids.com for example, and you’ll see Nick’s channel come up as a community and each video that they upload will be its own “post”.

        Note that when you lookup stuff on PeerTube, you have to use the channel name - not the uploader’s username. So the one I linked would work, but if you replaced the start with thelinuxexperiment it wouldn’t work, since that is a user and not a channel.
