  • Based om my experience with android but surely any mainstream smartphone works a bit like this.

    That isn’t up to the website necessarily. Every app states what links it supports to your phone, that will open the appropriate app automatically. On android you can change this behaviour on a per link per app basis in settings>apps>app-name>"open by default"




  • This is Berk. It’s twelve days north of Hopeless and a few degrees south of Freezing to Death. It’s located solidly on the Meridian of Misery. My village…in a word? Sturdy. And it’s been here for seven generations, but every single building is new. We have fishing, hunting, and a charming view of the sunsets. The only problems are the pests. You see, most places have mice or mosquitoes…we have…DRAGONS!










  • Peertube instances can be, like lemmy, federated with other instances. Meaning looking at one instance should show both its local content and the content of federated instances.

    The official Peertube android app (no login required but needed for subscriptions afaik) shows you one instance at a time. You can change the selected instance, but im not sure how the app handles your logged in account instance and selected instance not being federate with eachother.

    Peertubes official global search called sepiasearch will always link all results of your query to the original instance either way. There might be some nifty api thing that makes this play nice with peertube clients but im not sure.

    There are unnoficial peertube apps with different approaches but the ones i tried (newpipe and thorium (reccomendations welcome!)) follow a similar pinciple to the offical android app but without account capability.

    I hope that helps you with how peertube is ‘intended’ to be used. The way peertube gets the actual video file from federated instances is a bit beyond me but as far as i understand it its very close to torrenting.
