I setup @newpipe to watch @tilvids videos right from my smartphone. Here is a great video to get you started! Thanks to the #tilvids community!

As some of you know, I often will reach out to creators I find on YT to see if they'd be willing to share their content with the #tilvids community. Occasionally, I'll find one who makes content that perfectly fits our edutainment mission, but they just have ZERO methods of contacting them. This is one of those times. If you know of a way to get in touch with "The Science Elf"...please steer them in our direction! I'm a sucker for a good TI-calc video... :calculator:

Not a new blog post, but a recent poll by @vkc made me think it would be timely to re-post the latest blog entry on the #tilvids blog, because it talks a lot about the future direction I want to take TILvids in. Worth a read if you want my take on how I'm hoping to navigate #decentralization & #federation while also attempting to build a community that is scalable, ethical, and as fair as possible to everyone involved.

Feel free to ask questions! Let's learn together!

@vkc @socketwench

You probably already know @vkc but this is essentially what I'm hoping to do with #tilvids My goal is to use the main site as a place to help newer creators establish a following without having to deal with the technical aspects of running an instance. Once they get large enough, TILvids would help them figure out how to set up their own instance, and then federate with them, eventually growing a big ring of creators (which is why we're also so limiting on federation atm).

@iyashikei_kris @vkc

Very glad to hear this is your sentiment, it's certainly what I'm gearing for with #tilvids My hope is to strike a balance of a very hands-off moderation experience once you've demonstrated you're a good-faith creator making content that aligns with our goal of edutainment, and so far I feel like it's worked out pretty well.

Good poll @vkc I'll be watching the results and using it as input for future direction!

@RL_Dane That is why it is critical for the community to support efforts like #TILvids

@tilvids

@thelinuxcast

This is why *every* content creator should be looking at their YT exit strategy. The *best* platform is the one you control. That's why on #tilvids our goal is to help creators get off the ground, and then help them transition to their own instance, one that they can drive in ways that make sense for their goals. And as long as those goals still align with our mission of edutainment, we'll federate with all our "TILvids graduates"! 👏

So glad to have you along for the ride!

@linuxuserspace

My pleasure, and thank you for sharing your excellent stories with the #tilvids community!

I just got done chatting with a creator that I invited to share on #tilvids and while they were interested, they ultimately decided not to because they didn't want to detract from what they were doing on YT. As a creator myself, I completely understand, but this is why it's so important for everyone in the #fediverse community to reach out to creators and encourage them to share on #PeerTube The message coming from their viewers is so much more powerful than some random instance host. 💙

@elouboub @mattferrell

You have some awesome content Matt, and it's right in alignment with our goals for #tilvids We have a focus on edutainment content, so your videos would be a great match. Most of your videos look like they're about 15-20 minutes in length, which is not a problem at all. I also try to help promote creators on #mastodon to get the word out over here, and we have a secondary mirror instance to help with performance.

If you're interested, just give me a shout!

@Jyoti @AlexanderMars

Good for you! The more creators leave YT, the more they signal that they don't control the world of online video.

At #tilvids we're focused on edutainment content, which is to say, a mix of educational and entertaining. If you think that describes most of your content, feel free to let us know and we can make some space for you.

Cheers! 👏

@retrosponge @uastronomer

Encourage them to join a #PeerTube instance! We're happy to give anyone making quality edutainment content a home at #tilvids !

@wonkothesane @stux

This is definitely something the fediverse is going to have to figure out. I would bet most instances are having to dip into personal funds to cover costs (I certainly have to over at #tilvids ). If people want to live in a world without pervasive ads, there is a cost to it.

Welcome @freetechproject@mastodon.online to #tilvids ! We're always happy to give some space in our community for projects that are working to spread the good word on #foss

@freetechproject

Congrats on moving to a more open platform! We're happy to be able to support your project at #tilvids ! 💙

We're so happy to now be hosting our videos away from YouTube and instead on PeerTube - TILvids, to be exact! We've been running our non-profit tech workshops in Northern England for well over ten years now and have an updated video to explain a bit about who we are. https://tilvids.com/w/vYWd9aXyt2DUt2TjjfLf6b Thanks again, @tilvids #TILvids #learning #onlineLearning #lifelongLearning #technology

@JackOfAllTraits @rainynight65

Hello! If you're making edutainment content, and interested in sharing it with the #tilvids community, feel free to hop on over to our #Matrix chat room. The community/mods will take a look at your content, and if it works within our mission of edutainment, they can give you upload access.
