🏕️ my adventures in #selfhosting - day 128 (a bit Clueless edition) 🎬​

Bonjour Fedi friends!

I'm having a really interesting week: 4 adult caretakers in a house with 3 little children... as I admitted to someone on here, self-hosting is FAR easier than being a referee in fights about LEGOs 😅​

Now, whenever the cousins are busy playing in the garden, I try to do a bit of work, namely: figuring out #PeerTube from the POV of a self-hoster.

Yesterday I finally understood how I could create a user account (other than "root" - the superuser created during the PeerTube installation).

Today I'm busy trying to solve another problem: how do you tell your followers you've moved to a new instance? Because yes, PeerTube is powered by #ActivityPub, but it doesn't support the MOVE function.

I rarely posted on my MakerTube account and only have 150 subscribers, who followed me when reading about it on my blog post about PeerTube.

But I have to admit, the whole "following" thing is really convoluted on PeerTube because you can follow an entire account or specific channels. And I'm a little lost regarding how I notify my followers about the change.

If you have any suggestions, I'm all ears!

Oh and some news for you first... here is my new PeerTube home: videos.elenarossini.com/a/ele/…

Special thanks to ​
@yunohost
for empowering me to set up my own instance ❤️​

Good morning Fedi friends!

It's been 99 days since I started self-hosting my own Fediverse instances. Crazy how time flies!

I've been a bit absent from here this week because I started exploring the world of #PeerTube from the POV of a creator.

I just set up my own account on #MakerTube - so that I can write a guide that is accessible to many (as opposed to skipping this step and going straight to self-hosting).

Anyway, here is my PeerTube account: makertube.net/a/elena/video-ch…

I have been able to follow it from #Mastodon and #Friendica without a problem, but I keep getting an error message when I try to subscribe with my #GoToSocial username. The exact message: "Cannot fetch information from this remote account." Does anybody have the same issue? (as in: people on GoToSocial, can you subscribe to PeerTube channels?)

Wishing you all a lovely day 🌞​

P.S.: about to go offline for the rest of the day because... there's no pre-school in France on Wednesdays and the garderie keeps my little one up until 12:30. So apologies in advance if I'm slow to reply to messages.
