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?

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.
