    No there isn’t. Peertube won’t ever catch on. It doesn’t make sense like Lemmy/Mastodon make sense, because they require a fraction of the storage and processing power, also they don’t need monetization like video producers do. Not to mention Peertube is a privacy nightmare by leaking your IP to random peers by default.

        They do cache and serve images, if the server has it enabled. It’s enabled by default, but many turned it off after the CP incident.

            Okay but what exactly do you mean by the IP leaking issue? Like in what way does lemmy leak your IP adress?

              Your client must connect to the other instances to view an image, and by doing that you give them your IP address.

              There was an image going around recently that showed your user agent to show this issue.

                    And I take it since every instance is its own organisation, so to speak. It’s unclear whether your IP address will remain unbothered.

                Isn’t this like browsing any website? Each instance is a website. Browsing the website will give them your IP address. You can see, that the current content ist coming from another instance by checking the name (though I don’t know if every app shows the instance in that way). And as Lemmy is a Link aggregator (to my knowledge) it will provide links.

                But of course we can discuss if lemmy instances should proxy all interactions with other instances. Coming with its own problems.

      Peertube implementation maybe not, idk I do not know it.

      But something similar where each YouTuber/Creator has it’s own instance for most would be viable. Of course for people that do it for free and have no income.from it would be more problematic but the rest they could afford it.
