Why does it seem like peertube instances hardly federate? (lemmy.nz)

I've tried a few peertube instances, peertubenz tilvids, makertube and a few others. I always run into a problem that I dont experience on mastodon or lemmy. I will follow a link and I will try and subscribe to that person from my peertube account and I wont be able to because whatever peertube instance im on doesnt federate.

I get not wanting to federate with every random server but I would have expected a decent network to have formed.

Maybe I have just been signing up to the wrong instances or am doing something wrong.

I have the same results, especially frustrating with tilvids. I have my own instance and I get not wanting to show up on all random instances in the world, but even if I subscribe to some specific chanel in tilvids, I only get updates for a short while and then never again.
