It makes YouTubing less risky. Having a test audience and re-uploads lets you catch issues before they go up on YouTube permanently.

Bringing a nice UI and a layer of recommendations that added a light algorithmic touch that many felt the fediverse needed. Later in the year The BLVD, Inc brought Sub Club to market, a service to enable content creators to get money for premium/exclusive fediverse compatible content.

PeerTube has launched its first app, offering a simple way to browse PeerTube content directly from your device. While still in its early stages, it’s a promising tool for onboarding new users. The non-profit behind PeerTube, Framasoft, has big plans for 2025, including adding user logins, more platforms, and background playback. Additionally, PeerTube's version 7 introduces a sleek new UX and design, thanks to collaboration with La Cooperative Des Internet, making it more appealing for institutions and businesses to host their own videos. In sadder news, Mammoth and Sub Club, two popular Fediverse projects, have shut down after failing to secure ongoing funding. Mammoth, a polished Twitter alternative, and Sub Club, a creator monetization platform, both saw promising starts but couldn't sustain growth. The closure is a significant loss for the Fediverse community. On a brighter note, Bridgy Fed has officially become a non-profit, "A New Social," to further its mission of bridging the Fediverse with BlueSky’s ATProtocol. Meanwhile, Flipboard is working on a new social web browsing app, Surf, which integrates ActivityPub, RSS, and ATProto into a unified solution. Stay tuned for more updates on these and other Fediverse developments in 2025! ________________ [1] https://www.howtogeek.com/peertube-now-has-mobile-apps/ [2] https://framablog.org/2024/12/10/peertube-mobile-app-discover-videos-while-caring-for-your-attention/#:~:text=limited%20to%20a%20very%20strict%20allowlist [3] https://framablog.org/2024/12/17/peertube-v7-offer-a-complete-makeover-to-your-video-platform/ [4] https://www.lacooperativedesinternets.fr/ [5] https://techcrunch.com/2022/12/05/third-party-twitter-app-makers-turn-their-attention-to-mastodon/#:~:text=another%20third%2Dparty%20twitter%20app%20maker%2C%20shihab%20mehboob%20who%20develops%20aviary%2C%20has%20also%20begun%20work%20on%20a%20mastodon%20client%2C...https://video.fedihost.co/static/streaming-playlists/hls/2612135c-3f20-45b3-8d20-c66a0d52d3f6/3bc84b1a-956c-4e85-b958-e1b6d7a2c538-master.m3u8https://video.fedihost.co/videos/embed/5GEz7DfH9pHavtYqyru7f33305782024-12-24T01:15:19.864ZsubclubpeertubeiossurfbridgyYESNewsNOhttps://video.fedihost.co/w/rnNZ3FxnH977sFUDpQTwC7https://video.fedihost.co/lazy-static/thumbnails/87809ec5-ec15-4741-936e-f897861c1771.jpgWho Will Join The Fediverse In 2025?Every year the Fediverse advances in surprising ways building better tools and polished product to compete with old social media platforms.
