Peertube instance where there is federated content from other peertube instances? (feddit.online)

Seems like each peertube instance only shows its own videos. Is there a peertube instance that has tried to federate with all the other peertube instances where the feed isn’t so empty?

I understand that being confusing, local view makes sense as a default but I rarely check it over my federated feed.

This article explains things well.

How do I see just the videos on a particular server, and hide the videos it has federated from other servers?

To just see a server’s own videos and hide all the videos it has federated from elsewhere:

  1. Go to the server’s website
  2. Click the Browse Videos tab
  3. Click the More Filters link just below the “Videos on…” heading
  4. In the Displayed Videos dropdown menu, select “Only videos from this platform”

These are the videos that would be federated to your server if you follow them.

So change the setting back from this.

Is there an instance that has already done this? I don’t have one myself

So accessing content on other instances is a server configuration choice, not a user choice?

That seems like a design issue.

Lostpod.space, which is the Peertube instance I am most familiar with says right at the top that the video view is from Lostpod.space and from 438 other places.

You can click the filter button and toggle between "Videos from all platforms" and "Only videos on this platform" without having an account on Lostpod.space or logging in or anything so... I think a Peertube instance can probably disable a federated view, but in a case like Lostpod.space it is just a simple toggle hidden behind the filter button.

Also check out the "Discover" tab as well.
