I'm such an idiot, I thought that remote subscribe was where I put in my email address lol. I got peertube to open my instance, but it said it couldn't access the remote source. but !rollin@piefed.social 's plugin worked so I'll go with that for now. Thanks!

For the redirect from YouTube to PeerTube, it just uses the video title. This sometimes results in a “false positive”, but it does work.

You can try it with “The Linux Experiment”.

Thanks, this worked!

If there's any lesson we should have been taught by this timeline, it's that even the moronic can spark large changes with enough spite.

(Although the more you learn, the less wasted spite you need XD)

You can't rely on LLMs to get actual answers for technical things but it can help avoid a huge amount of wasted time and effort, back-and-forth, going in circles, talking around or past the issues etc. that is seen in threads everywhere in these types of expert niche communities. Besides, maybe my question has already been answered.

When I don't know the specific terms or framing, am missing context or am trying to get from A to C, but have no idea that B even exists, nevermind how (or who) to ask about it. If I can accelerate the process of clearing that up, I can go to the correct human expert or community with a much better handle on what it is I'm actually looking for and how to ask for it.

They have lots of snobbish gatekeeping still, it just exists at a higher level. Entry level knowledge is abundant. But once you seek a community with more specialized expertise, the IRC channels will be private and have passwords, and you better have contributed something to a novel exploit or something...
