I know that PeerTube is already federated and offers a fantastic decentralized video platform, but I was curious if they’ve ever considered adding support for ATProtocol, similar to platforms like Wafrn (a Tumblr alternative).
Adding ATProtocol support could:
Expand PeerTube’s reach to a broader audience who are already active on ATProtocol-based networks.
Enable seamless cross-platform interaction with users on platforms like Bluesky, fostering a more interconnected decentralized ecosystem.
Potentially attract creators who are looking for both video-focused tools and broader social networking interoperability.
Strengthen PeerTube’s position as a versatile, future-ready federated platform.
It would be amazing to see PeerTube bridging federated video with the growing ATProtocol ecosystem, opening up new opportunities for creators and viewers alike.
Thanks for considering this idea.
Wafrn, which is also [federated]( Fediverse - Wikipedia ), as well as gives you an option to connect to Bluesky.
The Creator, gabboman, created it explicitly due to Tumblr’s crackdown on NSFW content.

Wouldn’t you just post a link to a video on Bluesky? I don’t have an account there, but I’m fairly sure it isn’t a video platform with video channels and so on… Can you even vote on content there? Or create playlists and such?
Is there a reason why we can’t just have some program that serves as a standalone ATProtocol to ActivityPub adapter? Rather than building that functionality into PeerTube (or any other Fediverse application) specifically, we could just have a program that allows federation between any ATProtocoal network and any ActivityPub network.
“One thing well” and all that.
