Ada@lemmy.blahaj.zoneto Fediverse@lemmy.world•lemm.ee is shutting down at the end of this monthEnglish17·1 month agoYou create the community on another instance. You update the lemm.ee version with a sticky post and sidebar edit to let people know the new location. Do that before lemm.ee closes down, and even people that find the lemm.ee version of the group after the instance is gone will still be able to find your new location
Ada@lemmy.blahaj.zoneto Fediverse@lemmy.world•Migrating communities in the wake of the lemm.ee shutdownEnglish12·1 month agoWell, the managed communities will pin posts and update their descriptions before the shut down happens, and those details will federate to every instance with users that subscribe to the communities.
Ada@lemmy.blahaj.zoneto Fediverse@lemmy.world•TubeFree is a new Peertube by BT FreeEnglish41·1 month agoMost people don’t start making videos to make money. In the early Tube days there was no money.
Absolutely. I’m one of them. But there’s a lot of peertube instances that serve that need.
The OP was talking about creating a moderated instance, with high production quality requirements for members, with the possibility of charging for extra upload capacity etc. And that narrows the field down to people who either make their living from producing video content, or want to make their living from producing video content. That’s the group I was talking about
PeerTube only has 1 less avenue for monetization than YT, among dozens.
Absolutely, but the one its missing is a major source of income for most professionals and semi professionals who make their living from video content. And folk who rely on YouTube advertising aren’t just going to be able to drop YouTube for Peertube whilst keeping a consistent income stream. Which means the OP (and the OP specifically, not peertube in general) will need to make space for allowing those users to exist in a way that encourages them to move to Peertube, without cutting off the income they currently make from centralised corporate platforms.
My partner and I run a peertube instance out of our own pockets, and we make videos and host other folk making videos, without caring about their quality or experience. For us, it’s about giving folk voices. But I wasn’t talking about peertube in general, or folk like myself, I was addressing the OPs situation
Ada@lemmy.blahaj.zoneto Fediverse@lemmy.world•TubeFree is a new Peertube by BT FreeEnglish201·1 month agoAt the moment, its challenging for creators to generate income from Peertube. In theory, the avenue they have is through patreons and the like, but in practice, peertube doesn’t yet have the volume of users to make that work. And as a result, it’s going to be hard to use any kind of “premium/paid” tier service, simply because there won’t be many takers.
In my mind, right now, if you’re trying to attract creators, you’re going to need to reduce as many barriers as you can for them to move over. That may mean co-existing accounts on bigtech platforms and on peertube, and in terms of helping with your running costs, voluntary donations are the best way of doing it for now, until peertube gets a larger volume of users.
Either way, we spun up our own peertube instance a few weeks ago too, so welcome to the vidiverse :)

Ada@lemmy.blahaj.zoneto AskTransgender@lemmy.blahaj.zone•I have United Healthcare for insurance and I don't think they cover gender affirming care. How can I get HRT?English3·1 month agoOk, fixed. Our spam protection was interfering with it.

Ada@lemmy.blahaj.zoneto Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Peersuite p2p encrypted discord alternativeEnglish19·1 month agoA couple of questions. If I was trying to keep a consistent workspace to build a community around, would it be persistent after the host logs off, and are their tools to protect it from trolls etc who discover it a workspace?
Ada@lemmy.blahaj.zoneto Trans Memes@lemmy.blahaj.zone•While searching for seagull pictures to use for matrix stickers, I stumbled upon this proud bird8·1 month agoIt was the banner image on a news article about a gull that picked up a trans flag at pride
Ada@lemmy.blahaj.zoneto AskTransgender@lemmy.blahaj.zone•Is trans-hermaphrodite a thing?English28·1 month agoNo, because surgery doesn’t make you intersex. What you’re describing is a form of gender diversity, not an intersex condition.
In any case, don’t get too hung up on the label. What you’re describing here is a form of gender diversity and expression that doesn’t fit within the neat binary system the world forces on us, and as a result, the language is imperfect, and ever changing.
What you should be focusing on is the fact that what you’re describing isn’t this weird strange thing unique to you, but something that folk before you have also experienced
Ada@lemmy.blahaj.zoneto AskTransgender@lemmy.blahaj.zone•Is trans-hermaphrodite a thing?English24·1 month agoThe term you’re using isn’t a thing because it’s co-opting intersex identity, with a term that is often perceived as a slur by intersex folk. However penile preserving vaginogplasties are absolutely a thing. They’re not terribly common, but there are surgeons that offer it

Ada@lemmy.blahaj.zoneto Fediverse@lemmy.world•Improving the Fediverse to allow it to actually take over the social media space.English9·2 months agoFrom my perspective, that’s not something I’d use, or at least, it wouldn’t have been much use to me when I was a young closeted queer person in small town Australia. It wouln’t have been much help finding my peers
What type of surgery? Are you travelling to another country?

Ada@lemmy.blahaj.zoneOPto c/femboy@lemmy.blahaj.zone•This community needs a new mod or twoEnglish7·2 months agoFrom my perspective, it’s mostly watching reports that come in. They’re not very common, only a couple of a month. I action any reports that break instance rules, but if people post stuff that doesn’t break an instance rule, but might still be against the community rules, that’s where community mods come in.
Community mods also set the community rules and vision for what it’s about.
Which famously, never shut down and take their content with them :P
