Profitez des vidéos et de la musique que vous aimez, mettez en ligne des contenus originaux, et partagez-les avec vos amis, vos proches et le monde entier.
The point is outreach to the other platform. Sending engagement to this video on YouTube will boost it due to YouTube’s algorithm. More exposure on YouTube = more potential new PeerTube users. Publishing this on PeerTube is preaching to the choir. As an alternative platform, you always need to maintain a presence on the main platform so you can encourage people looking to leave.
Publishing this on PeerTube is also a problem. I mentioned this in another post, but to expand, I really, really, want to like PeerTube. But:
Many running servers don’t fully grasp the bandwidth requirements. The video I tried to watch in that post got “popular” (800 views) and it took 2 minutes to even get the progress bar to load. People will leave.
The federated nature is even more disjointed than Lemmy. It feels like a bunch of different sites still, which makes it feel like less content.
IMO PeerTube could be great, but it has a lot of shortcomings that aren’t solved by adding features and fixing bugs.
It would better to make peer tube super easy to use without needing to do more than cluck once on. A button and get going
The thing holding open source back is the gatekeeping. Developers could spend more time actually working with u.i experts to make things easy, but no. Rather make everyone think it’s some magic that requires 50 steps.
Make it easy to do business and give them a great product. That’s all that needs to be done. Do that foss community, and you’ll win.

Or at least publishing links to both would look better.
