    Well done to everyone involved!

    How can we follow peertube channels? I can’t seem to see any listed in communities on lemmy.ml

      It requires a pre-release version of peertube, so you might start seeing some once that gets released fully.

        Fetching and viewing Peertube channels or videos works fine with older versions. For that, just paste the url into Lemmy search. However, interactions like comments or follows require the specified version to work correctly.

              Huh, that video wasn’t there the first time and it displayed them as having 0 posts. Does it only federate after you search for the video?

              To give you an example, this is my result of trying 3 different urls for a video on mobile browser, unless I’m missing some method of directly accessing the mp4.

                  Okay, I figured it out. On my end you have to convert an “embed” code into a “watch” code by manually typing into the url. On that updated instance on mobile they use peertube’s built-in link shortener which generates “w” links instead.

                  After a lot of experimentation I found both “watch” and “w” links work, but there’s an awkward/newbie unfriendly procedure to it:

                  1. Paste “embed” link and convert OR paste “w” link
                  2. Search returns no results
                  3. Refresh the page or Search a random word to reset the search box
                  4. If using the random word method, put the video url you just deleted back in and search a second time
                  5. Discover that a Lemmy post generated because of your first search, but wasn’t displaying until you reload the page.

                  Additionally, one or two random videos display lemmy posts immediately but not all. Not sure why that is…

    HTML tags are now disabled in markdown, as the were causing some issues.

    Darn, that’s (a typo) too bad. I used them every so often to make really nice posts.

    edit: i.e. rekt

    Otherwise this looks like a great release :D. Keep up the good work!

      Yep, its unfortunate but too many ppl were exploiting it, using tooltips to cover over vote buttons, etc.

      Hopefully we can get this back eventually but with a very restricted whitelist of tags and attributes.
