Is PeerTube dead or is discoverability bad?

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'm so glad you pointed this out. I did not have this enabled on mine and I forgot about this option completely. I just enabled it.

That's a shit solution

That's a shit solution
Then find another instanceβ¦

In that case issue is some instances do not allow global search and that's why search will limit to only channels you follow and your instance.
