I just saw that! That's really cool. I gotta start exploring that too
Perfect moment to plug !Peertube@lemmy.world
Growing steadily, and in my opinion, definitely a way to supplement (still far from replace) YT. There's actually some neat content on there by now, from just good to fascinatingly bizarre - but almost always very genuine and authentic. Especially when comparing to some years back, it really has become a proper seed for a platform instead of a novel experiment - but more people interacting with the content and/or supporting the creators would be amazing as the next step.
Could this be used in place of a CDN?
The idea has been raised a few times that this could be a way to get longer videos on the Fediverse
Cinetimes uses it to stream what it claims are public domain films but, looking over the offerings they may be playing a bit fast and loose with that definition.
EDIT: I missed the faq with a list of projects that use it. That list has some really cool, useful services i might start using!

So there is a Hubzilla plugin. I don't know what I'd do with it but it is interesting to see.
PeerWeb sounds intriguing. You could have truly decentralised web sites.
Sounds a bit like zeronet that I think is dead now, but was pretty cool when I tried it.
