#peertube people ahoy! Does anyone know how to move #videos between #channels ?

From an issue on github, I do see the feature has been implemented: github.com/Chocobozzz/PeerTube

But on my host @spectra at least, I can't do that.

Is this something that changes per instance, or do i just have to burden my host with re-uploads?

Help appreciated!

I envision a future where we have sports Channels, music Channels, hobby Channels, activist Channels. Places where people can come together and find others with similar interests."

Channel.org is more than just technology.

Last week, we opened Channel.org beta to a very small number of initial testers. But, as part of the Newsmast Foundation's mission, Channel.org was designed with education and community in mind - not technology.

Channel.org will help for-good organisations understand and build a home on the open social web, away from Big Tech control.

🚨 Community Feeds are changing!

We’re rolling out updates to our 62 Community Feeds.

Community Feeds bring together topical knowledge across the open social web. They won’t be going anywhere, don’t worry, but they’ll be getting a fresh lick of paint before we launch Channel.org - including changing their name from Feeds to Channels.

Keep an eye out for updates on Channel.org. It’s coming very soon 👀
