    @Framasoft hey @db0 I just commented in this post from my mastodon and see its not federating to the OP post. Any idea why? I know I was recently able to comment on .ml posts but maybe I am blocked from .world? How does one even go about figuring that out

      Bonjour, c/opensource@lemmy.ml!

      Framasoft (that's us!) is a small French non-profit (10 employees + 25 volunteers), that has been promoting Free-Libre software and its culture to a French-speaking audience for 20+ years.

      What does Framasoft do?

      We strongly believe that Free-Libre software is one of the essential tools for achieving a Free-Libre society. That is why we maintain and contribute to lots of projects that aim to empower people to get more freedom in their digital lives.

      Among those tools are:

      • 20 FOSS based web-services that we host (mainly for our French-speaking audience) on our Degooglify Internet website, including Framadate and Framaforms… ;
      • many talks, workshops, and participations to conventions ;
      • A blog, where we share our views and where a group of volunteers translate into French news from the English-speaking FLOSS world ;
      • Many, many ressources to help people and organizations in their transition to ethical digital tools (guides, documentation, even card games!) ;

      Framasoft is funded by donations (94% of our 2024 budget), mainly grassroots donations (75% of the 2024 budget). As we mainly communicate in French, the overwhelming majority of our donations comes from the French-speaking audience. You can help us through joinpeertube.org/contribute.

      We develop PeerTube

      In the English-speaking community, we are mostly known for developing PeerTube, a self-hosted video and live-streaming free/libre platform, which has become the main alternative to Big Tech's video platforms.

      From a student project to a software with international reach, our video platform solution is now, seven years later, used and acknowledged by many institutions!

      The last major version of PeerTube, v7, has been released at the end of 2024, along with the first version of the official mobile app, available on both Android (Play Store, F-Droid) and iOS.

      Now that the PeerTube platform has matured significantly over successive versions, we believe that the way to enable even more people to use PeerTube is to improve the mobile app so that it can be carried around in people's pockets.

      Ask Us Anything!

      Last month, we have published the roadmap for the project. This week, we also launched our new crowdfunding campaign which focuses on our mobile app.
      We want to give you the opportunity through this AMA to give us feedback on the product and the project and discuss the crowdfunding campaign and our next steps!

      If you have any questions, please ask them below (and upvote those you want us to answer first).

      We will answer them to the best of our abilities with the /u/Framasoft account, from May. 28th 2025 5pm CET (11 am EST) until we are too tired ;).

      EDIT (8:16 pm CET): This wraps it for the day, thanks for all of your questions and feedback!

      Not much to say, I love your work! Thank you for what you do and for existing!

      Ah yes, maybe something: I think the fediverse suffers from a lack of recommendation/search system. We are a bit burned out from the terrible consequences of the for profit recommendations of Youtube and Twitter, but I think a system that would be actually controlled by the user would be a very precious discovery and adoption tool. Is there something like that being worked on somewhere?

              Copyright law would be in the way, Arte content is only available in France, Germany and parts of Switzerland. I have to use a VPN to even get their youtube videos, which are otherwise geofenced.

                First of all, thanks for doing this.

                Secondly, the friction of using PeerTube is more than any other application within the Fediverse. Even subscribing doesn't follow a sane UX with the button randomly appearing at the bottom of the screen. Do you not think that mirroring something closer to the YouTube UX would minimise friction?

                Thirdly, can you please create a tool that will scrape my YouTube subscriptions and look for their PeerTube channels, so I actually have a reason to open the app. Finding content is still really really really hard.

                They have sepiasearch to search peertube instances. The drawback is that only specific instances are searchable, because of dubious contents on some instances.

                    IIRC WebTorrent support is removed. Is torrenting completely off the table?

                    It is? Like, in general, or just for the app? Just want to make sure I am not missing some huge news here, because if it is removed entirely going forward (it definitely still works on the web interface on Firefox as of me writing this) - that would be rather bad. It's a huge part of why PeerTube works so well.

We are a bit burned out from the terrible consequences of the for profit recommendations of Youtube and Twitter, but I think a system that would be actually controlled by the user would be a very precious discovery and adoption tool. Is there something like that being worked on somewhere?

                        It's barebones and very much a WIP - and not official - but for PeerTube, there is PeerTube Picks, a Firefox add-on, that tries to provide a very simple "algorithm" experience, which may grow to become what you are looking for.

                          @Framasoft hey @db0 I just commented in this post from my mastodon and see its not federating to the OP post. Any idea why? I know I was recently able to comment on .ml posts but maybe I am blocked from .world? How does one even go about figuring that out

                            Bonjour, c/opensource@lemmy.ml!

                            Framasoft (that's us!) is a small French non-profit (10 employees + 25 volunteers), that has been promoting Free-Libre software and its culture to a French-speaking audience for 20+ years.

                            What does Framasoft do?

                            We strongly believe that Free-Libre software is one of the essential tools for achieving a Free-Libre society. That is why we maintain and contribute to lots of projects that aim to empower people to get more freedom in their digital lives.

                            Among those tools are:

                            • 20 FOSS based web-services that we host (mainly for our French-speaking audience) on our Degooglify Internet website, including Framadate and Framaforms… ;
                            • many talks, workshops, and participations to conventions ;
                            • A blog, where we share our views and where a group of volunteers translate into French news from the English-speaking FLOSS world ;
                            • Many, many ressources to help people and organizations in their transition to ethical digital tools (guides, documentation, even card games!) ;

                            Framasoft is funded by donations (94% of our 2024 budget), mainly grassroots donations (75% of the 2024 budget). As we mainly communicate in French, the overwhelming majority of our donations comes from the French-speaking audience. You can help us through joinpeertube.org/contribute.

                            We develop PeerTube

                            In the English-speaking community, we are mostly known for developing PeerTube, a self-hosted video and live-streaming free/libre platform, which has become the main alternative to Big Tech's video platforms.

                            From a student project to a software with international reach, our video platform solution is now, seven years later, used and acknowledged by many institutions!

                            The last major version of PeerTube, v7, has been released at the end of 2024, along with the first version of the official mobile app, available on both Android (Play Store, F-Droid) and iOS.

                            Now that the PeerTube platform has matured significantly over successive versions, we believe that the way to enable even more people to use PeerTube is to improve the mobile app so that it can be carried around in people's pockets.

                            Ask Us Anything!

                            Last month, we have published the roadmap for the project. This week, we also launched our new crowdfunding campaign which focuses on our mobile app.
                            We want to give you the opportunity through this AMA to give us feedback on the product and the project and discuss the crowdfunding campaign and our next steps!

                            If you have any questions, please ask them below (and upvote those you want us to answer first).

                            We will answer them to the best of our abilities with the /u/Framasoft account, from May. 28th 2025 5pm CET (11 am EST) until we are too tired ;).

                            EDIT (8:16 pm CET): This wraps it for the day, thanks for all of your questions and feedback!

                              Do you believe in the fediverse's ability to compete or to replace the current the social media environnement either from a technical perspective or from the dynamic of the environment?
                              If so, would it be a close remplacement or will it change deeply the way people use social media?

                              Same question specifically for PeerTube.

                                Do you think that the ability to browse content without an account is a differentiating factor to the fediverse?
                                Would a content creator be able to attract lurking non-fedi user using that capacity?

                                      We develop PeerTube

                                      In the English-speaking community, we are mostly known for developing PeerTube, a self-hosted video and live-streaming free/libre platform, which has become the main alternative to Big Tech's video platforms.

                                      From a student project to a software with international reach, our video platform solution is now, seven years later, used and acknowledged by many institutions!

                                      The last major version of PeerTube, v7, has been released at the end of 2024, along with the first version of the official mobile app, available on both Android (Play Store, F-Droid) and iOS.

                                      Now that the PeerTube platform has matured significantly over successive versions, we believe that the way to enable even more people to use PeerTube is to improve the mobile app so that it can be carried around in people's pockets.

                                      Do you have privacy-promotion organisations you would like to recommend (whatever language they are speaking)?

                                        Bonjour, c/opensource@lemmy.ml!

                                        Framasoft (that's us!) is a small French non-profit (10 employees + 25 volunteers), that has been promoting Free-Libre software and its culture to a French-speaking audience for 20+ years.

                                        What does Framasoft do?

                                        We strongly believe that Free-Libre software is one of the essential tools for achieving a Free-Libre society. That is why we maintain and contribute to lots of projects that aim to empower people to get more freedom in their digital lives.

                                        Among those tools are:

                                        • 20 FOSS based web-services that we host (mainly for our French-speaking audience) on our Degooglify Internet website, including Framadate and Framaforms… ;
                                        • many talks, workshops, and participations to conventions ;
                                        • A blog, where we share our views and where a group of volunteers translate into French news from the English-speaking FLOSS world ;

                                        Y'all hiring?

                                        (Kinda joking 'cause I know you just said you're small, but I am genuinely interested in figuring out how to get a software dev job with a French company as an American looking to emigrate.)
