I'm really trying to prime the pump on using PeerTube over YouTube. Even more than other parts of the fediverse it seems search/content discovery is ineffective enough that I'm going to call it broken :(. To brute force through this I even went to Sepia, got a list of all the servers, spent a couple hours going through accounts to find ones I even had a nominal interest in. My instance knew none of them. Fine, I'll just paste their channel URL into the search bar to force a fetch. Nope. Thankfully doing that with a video worked. Then I could subscribe to them, and away we go. I hope/hoped. There was one video that I forgot to add to a "watch later" list. Surely now that I subscribe to that account I could type their name in the search bar and it'd find it. Nope. What about keywords from the video? Nope. I'm at a loss for what it takes to finally have that start showing up on my local instance. Maybe I need to self-host to start figuring some of this out perhaps fix. Once I find stuff the streaming is great though. And I'm very glad to see there are now built-in mechanisms to help creators monetize through donations. #PeerTube #fediverse.
