Will it ever be possible for kbin to federate with PeerTube?

3 years ago by NotTheOnlyGamer to c/kbinMeta

I know this is a silly question, especially as I'm currently focused on local-only feeds, but there's just one part of the Fediverse I wish would get more love: PeerTube. While there aren't a lot of people actively looking for alternative video hosts outside the big guys (Twitch, YouTube, Dailymotion, etc.), it would be nice to see wider adoption of PeerTube. I think better integration with other softwares would be helpful in that regard, if for no other reason than just that it brings attention to the services available.

I expect it will be - it seems to almost work already. For example, take this peertube channel - https://tube.arthack.nz/c/intertwingled/videos?s=1.

I tried a few different things in the kbin search and @intertwingled@tube.arthack.nz got a result that I could subscribe to. If that channel posts another video, it might show up in kbin. Will it be a microblog? A thread? A magazine? Who knows! kbin seems very confused about all of this.

@boilingsteam (https://kbin.social/...) was created a month ago. BoilingSteam put a video on the channel 2 weeks ago (after it should've already been federated) and it didn't come down the pipe. So I think PeerTube is currently broken.

PeerTube channels use ActivityPub groups, so they should appear as a magazine in kbin. They already show up as communities in Lemmy, though I'm not sure if subscriptions work right there or not.
