Thanks @coruscate! Great summary!
I've been posting to Dtube recently and just found out about how they delete our old videos which is is a big deal for me.
I was considering posting to both Dlive and Dtube though didn't want to spam people so I think I'll move everything to Dlive for now and maybe repost some content on Dtube moving forward.
It's been a difficult decision to find clear information on and I do like both platforms.
I just feel the flexibility, potential for community relationship building and legacy videos add up to too much for me to stay out of Dlive.
Do you have any particular rules of thumb when spreading content between Dlive and Dtube?
Oooh great questions!
So here's what I think. Some people will duplicate post on Dtube and Dlive - but I think that is generally seen in bad taste as "double dipping' to try and get both votes. Both platforms tend to frown upon resposting older content too - you are more likely to get support from a fresh piece of content.
To work around the long term storage issue - I actually upload to YouTube as a backup. If you look at most of my posts - they will have a YouTube link embedded in the bottom. That way, if anyone has issues playing the videos- they can still consume my content. It's also nice to know they are permanently stored somewhere.
I feel ya on the Dtube storage thing though. I didn't realize that for months and now have lost lots of videos that I would have enjoyed keeping. Oh well... live and learn I guess!
If you have any other questions on any of this - let me know!
Cheers for taking the time to share a range of tips!
The double posting thing didn't resonate with me either.
I'll go back and add a youtube embed to my old Dtube posts now... Though I've just started vlogging so I will blast out the 9 vlog backlog on Dlive in the next week.... The older mindfulness videos can stay on youtube for now 😃
After insights from yourself and many others I've decided to migrate to Dlive:
