Yes. You can mirror videos from other instances. This also work as a kind of redundancy, if the PeerTube instance with the original video is down.
PeerTube is a video sharing platform, just like YouTube or Vimeo. Videos you watch on PeerTube is hosted on a PeerTube instance.
You are right, but the users also need to be watching the video at the same resolution. A PeerTube instance can also function as a peer.
If multiple people are watching the same video, at the same resolution, it uses WebRTC (HLS P2P) to share data between them, saving bandwidth from the PeerTube instance.
A PeerTube instance can also function as a peer (seed) for another PeerTube instance.
Doesn’t work with all yet though. At least not on iOS 😭
Meldrik@lemmy.wtfto Fediverse@lemmy.world•The YouTube Alternative Nobody's Talking About ! PeertubeEnglish6·2 months agoWorking with you UX experts? You mean like hire them? With what money?
Otherwise, the UX experts need to step up and volunteer their services, just like programmers do when they create FOSS.
Meldrik@lemmy.wtfto Fediverse@lemmy.world•The YouTube Alternative Nobody's Talking About ! PeertubeEnglish17·2 months agoWhat problem does Peertube solve beyond not being Youtube?
Content creators can be in total control of their content and the platform, while still being able to reach the wider audience on the Fediverse.
There’s also features such as being able to replace an already uploaded video and for some, they would be happy not having to play the “algorithm game”.

Meldrik@lemmy.wtfto Fediverse@lemmy.world•Do you use other federated software besides Lemmy (e.g. Mastodon/Pixelfed/etc.), if so which?English5·2 months agoI use Lemmy and PeerTube. Host a version of both myself. I use Loops a little as well and will probably pick up Pixelfed at some point.
Meldrik@lemmy.wtfto Technology@lemmy.world•Bluesky has started honoring takedown requests from Turkish governmentEnglish20·2 months agoBluesky doesn’t work if the IP gets blocked in Turkey, but with Mastodon, you would have to ban every single IP from every Mastodon instance and potentially all other IPs on the Fediverse.
Let’s say Turkey blocks mastodon.social. Now people in Turkey can’t access Mastodon.social under normal circumstances, but they can still access fosstodon.org, mstdn.social etc. and access the content from Mastodon.social through those other sites.
Only issue could be media uploaded to Mastodon.social, that’s blocked, unless it has been cached by the website you use.

There’s Mastodon and a ton of others.
It doesn’t. It only works in tandem with the iCloud app from the Microsoft Store.
