I run Spectra.video, and the only reason we have manual registrations is to ward off spam and trolls. Anyone is welcome to apply for registration, we just manually curate the list first to make sure you're a human that actually wants to use PeerTube and create stuff.
I think you'll find our instance fits with the rest of your criteria pretty well.
I was working on a Friendica theme conversion a while back, with the goal of making the theme elements compatible with old-school Myspace layout generators. Unfortunately, Friendica doesn't support a user wall anymore, so I'd maybe have to rewrite the whole thing for Hubzilla?
It's profoundly depressing. Developers are the lifeblood of open source projects, and we're all kind of just scraping by at the moment. Loads of people end up investing years and years of labor for free, only to get toxic interactions in return.
Sorry, our provider had an outage around that time. We should be good now!
Gah. Sorry that it's still happening, I'm not totally sure why it happens, beyond the server choking while federating. I'll keep investigating. 😞
Wild! I definitely can!
Testing from Lemmy.ml. Seems to work pretty good? 🙂
To my knowledge, the project isn't dead...but, it has been moving at a horribly slow pace for a very long time.
Funkwhale is a pretty cool project, but it's one of those things where the ActivityPub implementation really was bolted on well after the core experience was defined and developed. It was meant to be a Grooveshark clone, while a lot of people were hoping to use it in a more social way, like SoundCloud.
Should be working now. Occasionally, the server gets a little janky due to post federation and caching, but it should be settled at this point.
Yeah, I'm on sertraline and Adderall XR. While neither one is perfect, the baseline quality of my life has improved. It's hard to quantify or explain, but my recall and short-term memory is a million times better. I'm currently going to school full-time, and my grades are the best they've ever been, even in my hardest classes.
Hi, Spectra Video admin here. We actually use two plugins for "Original Publication Date" sorting:
The reason we ended up doing this on our instance is because people were reposting their old videos to get them to the top of the index, which made searching for new content a little bit useless. This wasn't entirely their fault, some people were syncing their entire YouTube archives with PeerTube through an account connection feature, so forcing videos to be sorted and displayed by their original creation date was a punitive action to help correct this.
We probably need to take another look at using these plugins, as they're extremely old at this point.
