I recently posted a video of the Jaleel Stallings case but a number of people without Google accounts want to see the video, and so I’d like to post it on another platform. Any recommendations?

    Oof. That also annoys me. I didn’t even notice the site didn’t explain an instance.(I should probably issue a bug on GitHub; but I hate GitHub because Microsoft.)

    PeerTube is referring to this definition of instance:

    instance - an item of information that is typical of a class or group; “this patient provides a typical example of the syndrome”; “there is an example on page 10”

    So, think of PeerTube as a class, and a site running PeerTube as the instance.

    A federation system functions as a class-instance: There is a software (the class) that can be deployed by people on to sites, as instances. This software can operate with other instances of the software.

    It’s what Lemmy uses.

      Actually, the concept of PeerTube is explained on Joinpeertube.org:

      Anyone with a modicum of technical skills can host a PeerTube server, aka an instance. Each instance hosts its users and their videos. In this way, every instance is created, moderated and maintained independently by various administrators.

      But maybe it’s not clear enough.
