The best thing about PeerTube is that tags on a video are automatically converted into Mastodon-appropriate tags (spaces removed, basically) that show up in search there, it’s a really cool feature that definitely helps a lot with discoverability. So this definitely has potential.

Unfortunately on the Mastodon side, you’re still seeing a link to the Lemmy post rather than being able to read it in your feed, which confuses a lot of people in my experience as they don’t realise they can reply in Mastodon since it looks like a whole separate thing.

So yeah, great work and I think it probably will help some communities, but nobody get your hopes up too much as the way things federate in that direction is just inherently bad at the moment.

p.s. followed the bot on sunny.garden and mastodon.gamedev.place to get things moving 👍
