I love the fact that @newpipe shows Fediverse replies for videos as comments.

@RL_Dane @newpipe

Wow, interesting. Where is the function?

@ditol @newpipe

It's not actually in NewPipe itself as is designed to never pass any information about the user to the services it is downloading the video from.

What I do is hit the share button, copy the URL, then open (or your fediverse client of choice), go to the search field, paste in the video URL, and then reply like you're replying a toot.

If you close NewPipe and open the video again (your history makes this easy), it should load your reply as a comment.

@RL_Dane @newpipe
Ah, now I see. Thanks for the explanation!

And Lemmy shows Mastodon toots as posts and comments! I’m viewing this from Lemmy. Isn’t federation awesome?

EDIT: Look Mom, I’m on Mastodon now!

holy shit, iam also on lemmy and have not even realised that this post is from mastodon

@dheadshot

Yes, but there's no official client for , IIRC.

is the best unofficial client I've used, although it is unfortunately not peer-to-peer.

@RL_Dane @dheadshot

Yes there's https://Fedilab.App - Even #Fedilab itself supports #PeerTube, and you can get them all at F-Droid too 🤘🤠🤘

These #Android applications indeed support the commenting/reply and plussing/reacting just like any other #Fediverse app does/should too :)

I hope that helps, enjoy!

@tallship @dheadshot

Holy moly!!! that supports logging into a instance!!! WOW!!

Does it play the video peer-to-peer, though? I wonder.

@RL_Dane @tallship It did at one stage, but that was pre-rewrite and it didn't work very well at the time. I don't know now.
