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.

Not a lot of instances wants to federate with everyone for multiple reasons.

The more you federate with, the higher the moderation and the more junk is going to be shown.

Since PeerTube doesn’t use any algorithms , it just shows whatever.
