I see people sharing links to peertube, youtube, streamable, imgur, and other sites in communities in order to share videos. For the non-federated ones, it’s understandable if there is no option, but for content creators, is it possible to share a video directly from peertube into a community?
I don’t know if it’s possible by adding @[email protected] for example in the text of a description and then removing it or doing something else.
The goal here is that when sharing the video, the comments on the video are also sent to the video’s page. Is that possible?
one thing I really wish the federation had done was work more under a shared login system. something like saml. I would like to click on a peertube link and for it to create a user on the peertube system using any relevant customizations from my parent user and if I modify options on peertube I wish it would save that to my piefed user somewhere. like an other accounts tab or something.
that sounds both a privacy and security nightmare
How so?
unauthorized exfiltration of your user data, including all settings, your email address and possibly your subscriptions.
but probably this could be solved with some agreement dialog.
intransparent and unauthorized modification of arbitrary settings in the origin user
they don’t need ot allow that. It just authorizes and would use the username and the tab to keep track of the instances settings. I mean your initial instance would have that but they have that ability to begin with. Anything on the web would be security and privacy risks if not done will. also none of that is very useful unless the person signed up with a main email. again though the fediverse developers have been pretty good at using good practices.
this exists, its called OWA (open web auth) (https://magicsignon.org/page/openwebauth/fep) and is implemented in hubzilla and other softwares of the family.
no I meant by default. So me signing up with in this case pifed.social would have me move over to pifed as [email protected] without me having to do more than authorize much like a place that will use your google login.
