Oddysee is built on LBRY, which I believe is the closest thing. I think there's something else called PeerTube, but I'm not sure what it is exactly (haven't looked into it).
I might be too pedantic, but Odysee/LBRY is a blockchain-based decentralized network. But its not federated and it doesn't use activitypub like Lemmy and mastodon. I would only call Peertube to be part of the fediverse.
Not too pedantic at all; those are indeed two distinct ways of creating similar applications. In my opinion, federated alternatives are more appealing than those based on blockchain technologies. Federated networks are proving to provide a more palatable experience through hybrid decentralized centralization.
I’m pretty sure peertube is just a selfhosted version of YouTube that caches YT videos locally. Not an actual separate platform to upload videos to. I could be mistaken.
Partially correct. You can self host peertube instances. What differentiates it from YouTube is:
Definitely did not realize this, that is really cool! Thanks for sharing.
Also its a separate okatform. Could be used to cache YT videos but that's not its primary purpose.
