Is there something about Mastodon and the Fediverse that you need help with?
Reply to me or send me a DM and I'll try to help if I can, or put you in touch with someone else who can help.
Don't worry if a question seems silly or obvious! The idea of this account is to especially help new people.
@feditips I have read somewhere that you can have content from other platforms show up in your timeline. But I haven't found a way to link my mastodon and peertube accounts to make that work.
Have I misunderstood the technology, or ist that actually possible somehow?
@stefanie you need to follow accounts from other platforms in order to see their content.
Edit: also, for other people to see your content, they will need to follow you too on that platform. That's actually the whole idea of the fediverse: you follow any person you want from whichever platform and their videos and other type of content will show on your feed (and when you're visiting their profile as well).
You can try this with me: I'm on Friendica, but if you access my profile I guess I have enough public posts for you to see. Right there on Mastodon 
@petrescatraian @feditips But how? I have an account on MakerTube and one on mastodon. But how can I link those?
So far, not even the confirmation in my profile works, despite setting the linkback on my channel.
You can't link accounts, because each server is totally independent.
People with multiple accounts normally list them in their profiles on all the different servers, so people can see they are the same person who runs them.
If you want to share content from one account on another account, the easiest method is to follow it and then boost it from your other account.
@feditips @petrescatraian I think I got it now.
The only thing I still don't understand is, why the link to my MakerTube doesn't show up in green on my profile.
I have read that I have to put a link back to my Mastodon on the page I am linking to, and I did that. But it still doesn't show up in green.
The link back by itself isn't enough, the site you're linking to needs a specific kind of link which includes a piece of HTML code called rel="me".
PeerTube doesn't currently include this, but I've posted your request in the relevant issue on the PeerTube github:
@feditips @petrescatraian I know, I put this on my channel page: "a rel="me" href="https://social.anoxinon.de/@stefanie">Mastodon</a". Removed the leading and trailing <> to not confuse the browser for the message
Ah ok!
I wonder if the problem is PeerTube using javascript? According to the post in that issue, Mastodon doesn't render javascript when checking verification links.
@feditips @petrescatraian Yeah, I just inspected the source, and it turns my links into this:
Okay, that's the issue then. Either PeerTube needs to change how it displays links on profiles, or Mastodon has to change how it handles verification...
@feditips Exactly. I have tried the profile description as well, but that also gets clobbered.
So I'll just have to wait for the devs to fix it somehow.
Yeah, all I can suggest is letting them know it's a problem via the github. Sorry!
@feditips Thanks a lot for your help.
I am not terribly worried about it, just wondering why it didn't work.
Pretty sure the PeerTube devs have a lot of work, so i'll just patiently wait until they get to this.
