I really really want to use peertube but I can't seem to get it right.

I have signed up on multiple instances but i can only seem to find videos from the instance that i am in. Or rather i seem to get vastly different results depending on what instance i am in.

oh ok - i thought it was like fedicerce where instances shared content, and therefore could compete with Youtube. If they are simply mini-youtubes, the tech could be awesome, but if the content is spilt across multiple groups, i find it hard to understand how it really can compete against youtube.

I just did a test to confirm. I tried a search on peertube.tv and one on peertube.wtf but even the interfaces are different so it is hard to figure out what and where you're searching

PeerTube is part of The Fediverse, as it also uses the ActivityPub protocol. However, the PeerTube part of the Fediverse, is very fragmented. Most PeerTube instances only follow a select few other instances.

If you take a look at this page at PeerTube.wtf, you will see that the instance is connected with 1091 other PeerTube instances.

PeerTube.tv is not only running a very old version, but is also only connected to 8 other instances.

Have a look at this post, for the most inter-connected PeerTube instances: https://lemmy.wtf/post/15816115

I think this video has a good explanation of what peertube is. It's just like lemmy or mastodon but for video.

https://sepiasearch.org/ allows searching across the majority of instances.
