I wonder if you plan to mirror the video in Mastodon itself, or PeerTube

@Gargron@mastodon.social Apologies for being *that* person straight out the gate, don't want to be an audio-snob, but did you know the audio was completely on the left? I can fix it in-post on my end, and I have to or I get ear-strain but if you could rectify that for the next tutorial it would be wonderful. Thanks.

@Gargron@mastodon.social Could I suggest uploading those to a PeerTube server as well? I know most people we need to "free" of corporate social media are on YouTube but handing out a link to a federated system feels more appropriate IMHO.

@Gargron@mastodon.social Seconding the request for a PeerTube link please? Let's highlight all the capabilities of the Fediverse!

@Gargron@mastodon.social Überzeugte Mastodon-User sollten auch überrzeugte Fediverse- "Bewohner" sein! Warum nicht Peertube! Vor allem hinein einladen, aber nicht hinaus locken! (How to use Mastodon!) #unplugbigtech :fediverse:

@Gargron@mastodon.social I've heard something about videos on Fediverse. And also watching those interesting videos clips in the others tube channels. And it can be put there for watching. :blobcatcoffee:

@Gargron@mastodon.social Could you post the peertube link as well, please?

@lefteristrip23@mastodon.social 2026-06-01 06:13
@Gargron@mastodon.social you can upload to peertube too :)

@Gargron@mastodon.social Peertube pls ….. Thx

@boz@mastodon.uno 2026-06-01 08:46
@Gargron@mastodon.social Thanks! I must ask 😺 can the video has "Creative Commons Attribution" license? It's the only Libre license available in YouTube. The default is "YT standard license" which impede legal download. Thanks! so we can easily import the video in PeerTube 🤩 Edited: I mean, is a video option

@Gargron@mastodon.social Useful video, thank you. New Mastodon user - I'm looking foward to the next one.

@Gargron@mastodon.social I didn't know that not writing a CW text simply just sets the media as spoiler / sensitive. I assumed the post simply doesn't get a CW at all (the same you don't get any when you don't have any media present), since the CW placeholder text says "Optional". It does feel like a hidden feature, and I wonder if we can get a setting in the alt text / image edit modal, to be able to mark each media piece as sensitive instead. Pic unrelated.

@JulianWgs@ieji.de 2026-06-01 12:16
@Gargron@mastodon.social May be rename the video to something like "All the features around posting in Mastodon". A video named "How to make posts" being more than 25min could easily become a meme, because the expectation is that it should be way shorter.

@moftasa@mastodon.online 2026-06-01 12:19
@Gargron@mastodon.social thank you. I learned a couple of things (most comments here mentioned them already). May I suggest using a screen recorder that zooms in a little on what you are doing on the screen. Watching the video on a mobile screen isn't very clear when the whole browser window is visible. Or may be lower the screen resolution? I think a large percentage of people watch YouTube videos on their mobile phones.

@Gargron@mastodon.social I still see people elsewhere saying figuring out getting on Mastodon was too hard for them. A video making it stepwise simple to explore different servers and choose one and get set up would be great. That would include discussion of the differences between server options or forks, for instance I chose my current instance for several features including the extra long character count on posts.

@Gargron@mastodon.social Thx. Please make this post a thread with any future tutorials.

@Gargron@mastodon.social would you mind if I download the video and upload it on a PeerTube instance?
-
@lrreynolds@mstdn.social 2026-06-01 13:38
@Gargron@mastodon.social thanks this is useful and I will certainly share with new users. I picked up a number of subtle features that I don’t often use myself: quiet public, purpose of language setting, CW nuances, char count heuristics etc. BTW this is very useful and if you do decide to make more of these I would suggest creating a channel dedicated to the series so people can easily subscribe and of course also having them on peertube would be nice for those who wish to avoid YT.

@Gargron@mastodon.social I didn't know the find included ALT text searches. Useful video and explanation. Thank you.

@Gargron@mastodon.social I learnt about the searching of alt text. That was neat to learn about.
