   Hey there everyone! ?

   Please have a look at my website because it will probably answer a lot of your questions about how to use Mastodon and the Fediverse:

   ➡️ https://fedi.tips

   If you're recommending me as a follow to others, it would be great if you could mention the site too so that new people get help straight away.

   I am getting repeating questions that are already answered on the website, so it would help a LOT if you could tell new people about the site as well as my account! ?

     @feditips I keep thinking that I'll update my fedi guide site, but then I see sites like yours which are already doing a much better job to point people to

     Umm... I don't have much experience of torrents but my understanding is video files are stored there locally (like on cloud storage). When people start watching them they start distributing the video's data peer-to-peer.

     So, if a video goes viral, the large number of people watching at once allows lots of peer-to-peer activity and the instance itself doesn't run out of bandwidth.

     Viewers and publishers can optionally switch off the p2p if they want and just watch directly too.

     I might have got a question regarding a peertube.

     Can I treat a peertube instance as a cloud storage for videos and just dump content there and remove lically, or does the copy on my local storage have to be alive as a first seed for whole traffic around specific video to get bootstrapped?
