    Hmm, that’s the first time across r/Lemmy, Kbin.Social or Lemm.ee I’ve heard that there’s a ‘Reddit-side’ to the FV. Do you mean Kbin as a whole, or this instance specifically?

    I’m referring collectively to Lemmy (lemmy.world, lemmy.ml, lemm.ee, lemmy.blahaj.zone etc.) and Kbin as the “Reddit side” of the Fediverse as distinct from the “Twitter side” represented by Mastodon (and possibly others), though there is some crossover with Lemmy and Kbin having a microblogging feature.

    Lemmy and Kbin are formatted around the Reddit model of subforums (communities on Lemmy, magazines on Kbin) rather than the Twitter model of uncategorised posts using hashtags like on Mastodon.

    And then there’s Peertube, a YouTube-like video platform which also uses ActivityPub federation, which I guess would be a “YouTube side” of the Fediverse, but I don’t think it’s really caught on yet.

      Oic! As a long-time Redditor (hopefully not for much longer), with new Lemmy & Kbin accts, I get it.

      Btw, the Peertube version of YT seems like a tall task on the face of it. Not just because of the ginormous amount of content hosted on YT, but also because Google has worked out licensing & revenue agreements with countless entities, including big-time players who allow their stuff to be uploaded there. I.e., Peertube trying to go down a similar path would pretty-easily be cast as piracy, and I’d hate to see the instance-runners have federal agencies descending on them, potentially ruining their lives.

        Definitely, trying to make any kind of viable YouTube alternative is a major uphill battle, but trying to make an open-source, federated nonprofit one? Yeah, I don’t envy the PeerTube guys. Not to mention they’ll have to be ready at any moment in case someone uploads something really illegal like CSAM to their platform. You do not want to be dealing with that sort of nightmare.
