Peertube Onboarding (piefed.social)

Peertube is great. I LOVE it. It's EMPOWERING. But let's face it, onboarding sucks. It requires you to LEAVE everything from Youtube and come to manually upload it all to Peertube. There IS the addon for hooking into Youtube and pulling into Peertube, but as TILVids points out, Google will block out.

Are there any tools, or is anyone willing to make anything, that is a Youtube Uploader AND peertube uploader? If we can them a Youtube Uploader tool that's BETTER than their shit website we can squeeze our foot in the door, we lower the barrier to entry to allow them to onboard to the Fediverse.

I'm currently working on setting up a nonprofit organization for fostering the fediverse. I'll run a peertube, and yes cost will be an issue but let me worry about that, but I'm concerned with what TILVids is hitting with basically Google puts up a wall and we don't have a good way to onboard folks.

So we need tools to meet folks where they're at, which would be helping them upload to Youtube and onboard to us. Or have a tool that can export all of their videos and descriptions and what not and upload to a configured Peertube with a click of a button.

Any thoughts, suggestions, etc?

If the instance admin enables it Peertube allows creators to automatically mirror their YouTube channel on Peertube.

Yup, I know. But TILVids for instance was doing that and Youtube blocked them. So now they can't. Google is going to attempt to keep what they consider to be "their" data in their data center and keep us out. That's why we need a way for Youtubers to upload to Youtube AND other platforms at the same time.

I still prefer Odysee to Peertube, it gives creators full control over everything, even allowing on-platform monetisation.

I agree, my partner has a support group and therefore is obligated to use Meta. Their business suite allows uploading the same post with slightly different layouts to match each of their social networks. Would be sweet if there were a similar service for uploading simultaneously to each of the platforms you want to be on.

As for now, your best option would be to use yt-dlp to download all your videos, if you don't have the originals.

Monetisation is a BIG giant hole missing from Peertube atm. We need thoughts around how to help that as well.

But I'm not talking for MY YT content, as I have none. We need a way to make moving videos from YT to Peertube for any new person coming over to make it as easy as possible. But I love the ideas! Keep them coming!

Thank you! :-)
