When I tried it in the past, I kinda didn't take it seriously because everything was confined to its instance, but now, there's full-featured global search and proper federation everywhere? Wow, I thought I heard there were some technical obstacles making it very unlikely, but now it's just there and works great! I asked ChatGPT and it says this feature was added 5 years ago! Really? I'm not sure how I didn't notice this sooner. Was it really there for so long? With flairs showing original instance where video comes from and everything?

GrayJay also supports adding PeerTube instances:

Not my experience, still hard to me to find good quality and interesting contents on it. A problem i don't have on pixelfed, so it's not about the lack of algorithm

Yeah, it's not really all that deep in content yet.

Looks promising though

Take a look sometime at the top videos of !peertube@lemmy.world or https://piefed.social/f/fediversevideos to see some great videos! Creators all over the fediverse.

One of my favorite videos on fedi: https://videos.elenarossini.com/videos/watch/2909e4a0-6424-4a74-a936-d15812268a3c

I myself host a peertube instance and its pretty easy to use.

My experience hasn't been as smooth. The global search seems dependent on instances, some are better than others. And playback across instances is hit or miss.

With that said, usage entirely local to the instance is flawless and speedy, which is nice.
