I see people sharing links to peertube, youtube, streamable, imgur, and other sites in communities in order to share videos. For the non-federated ones, it's understandable if there is no option, but for content creators, is it possible to share a video directly from peertube into a community?

I don't know if it's possible by adding @peertube@lemmy.world for example in the text of a description and then removing it or doing something else.

The goal here is that when sharing the video, the comments on the video are also sent to the video's page. Is that possible?

Channels on PeerTube are already Communities on here so there is no need to tag something for videos to show up as long as somebody subscribes to the channel. If you search for a specific video on your instance it should show up with comments from across the Fediverse. (e.g.: https://makertube.net/videos/watch/b82221ac-53b2-4b72-94f7-4d1ee436cce1) However you can still crosspost the videos in more specific Communites. Comments are then aggregated from different Posts on Piefed and I think Lemmy 1.0

But crossposting requires an account on the target instance, doesn't it? I can't crosspost on my peertube instance to a community in lemmy/piefed/mastodon/fedia can I?
