   If you're publishing to #PeerTube, bear in mind Mastodon will show your videos as made by your PeerTube account, and not your PeerTube channels.

   To avoid confusing Mastodon followers, you might want to brand your account and channel identically. If you need to have several different PeerTube channels, consider using several different PeerTube accounts instead.

   The username on videos viewed from Mastodon will be your PeerTube account. Channels will just look like groups boosting your account.

     The problem is that channels are sort of invisible on Mastodon, but very visible on PeerTube.

     If most of your potential audience is on Mastodon, you end up having to downplay channels and just brand accounts and channels identically.

     Ideally, Mastodon should start treating each PeerTube channel as a separate account, but that hasn't happened (yet).

     @feditips I'd say it's the opposite that *confused* me, personally. I looked in their channels through PeerTube and noticed that both channel and account are barely different.

     But the advise is right on the money - first and foremost, you would want to maintain your channel's brand on Fediverse, rather than what could be a simple Mastodon microblog for your personal posts.
