Is PeerTube dead or is discoverability bad?

I'm not entirely sure what you're saying. Google owns youtube. If you're saying people search google, and then click the youtube link results, I mean, yeah, people do that. But it's not a necessity. I can go to youtube, and search straight from youtube. I CAN search from google, but it's not a requirement like it is with peertube.

PeerTube doesnβt have search at all? Yea that is kind of nuts. Iβve had bad search experience across Lemmy and Mastodon as well. I wonder how much is due to decentralized nature of the servers, the federation aspect, or just poor search functionality.

Not if you want to subscribe to a channel, or interact with videos in any way.
Yeah it is a major work in progress but discoverability is better and you can use Sepia search from within it.

Nice channel, I've just added it to https://piefed.social/topic/wholesome to help people find it.
Excellent. I hope we will all enjoy it.
I'll work on a logo and other stuff

Iβm not opposed to a microservice that indexes the fediverse for creating a robust search index. Without it, youβd have to nearly search each server on each service.

The PeerTube admin chooses which other platforms they follow. They can also control who can follow them.

Sepia Search is something that's also build into PeerTube, if the admin have enabled Global Search. Sepia Search uses this list of instances: https://instances.joinpeertube.org/instances
The same can be enabled in PeerTube. You can see here, that I have it enabled on my instance:

Tilvids.com don't want to allow following or follow anyone themselves. That's a policy they have had for a long time. However...
Since Tilvids is on this list: https://instances.joinpeertube.org/instances?search=tilvids, they are part of the Global Search Index. So you can get videos from tilvids in your search results, if you instance has enabled Global Search.Also, you, as an instance owner, can follow channels on tilvids, by using their channel handles.

Take a look here for an instance: https://lemmy.wtf/post/15816115
And take a look here, under gaming, which instances they use: https://lemmy.wtf/post/15810205 -
Yeah, I agree.
When it comes to building a fediverse service there's a really delicate balance to find with making it unambiguous you're engaging with multiple services, vs creating a singular and cohesive enough user experience, and it seems like the peertube devs just learn reaaally far towards the former at the expense of the latter.
Its a bit frustrating.

I didn't know that, that definitely helps
