PeerTube is a nice idea but almost all instance owners don’t enable much federation, if any.
I had to create my own and set it to auto-federate with others.
And still there’s a large lack of interesting content or stability or usable clients.
Also the sorting is completely out of whack. If I click on “trending” videos, the top ones are usually several months old.
There also a whole lot of non-English content with no way to filter it.
I administrate a PeerTube instance (peertube.wtf) and everything is just much more complicated compared to a Lemmy instance.
One reason I don’t “auto-federate” is because there’s a ton of pirated and questionable content. So much content is in a foreign language and so many instances are inactive and therefore filled with spam.
That’s why I add instances manually to federate with. This way, the quality of the content is also much higher.
It’s easier and more productive to just remove bad instances as they’re added than it is to scower all the different instances and pick and choose which ones to federate with.
What’s wrong with pirated content?
For hosters, legality has to be considered.
